Playtime Toy Shop is having its annual holiday sale, when every toy in the store gets marked down. During the sale, Max purchases 6 Wild Wheels diecast cars to add to his collection, each at $2 less than its full price. Max pays a total of $57. How much does each Wild Wheels diecast car cost at full price?

1 answer

Let x be the full price of each Wild Wheels diecast car.

During the sale, Max purchases each car at $2 less than its full price, so he pays x - 2 for each car.

Since Max purchases 6 cars, his total cost is 6(x - 2) = $57.

Solving for x:

6(x - 2) = 57
6x - 12 = 57
6x = 69
x = 11.50

Therefore, each Wild Wheels diecast car costs $11.50 at full price.
