First, we need to calculate the total cost of the 3 giant dog pillows. Amy paid $60 and received $6.15 in change, so the total cost of the 3 dog pillows is $60 - $6.15 = $53.85.
Since each dog pillow costs the same amount, we can divide the total cost by 3 to find the cost of each pillow:
$53.85 / 3 = $17.95
Therefore, each giant dog pillow costs $17.95.
Amy gave the cashier $60 to pay for 3 giant dog pillows. The cashier gave her $6.15 in change. Each dog pillow cost the same amount.
What is the cost in dollars and cents for each dog pillow?
