1 answer

Let x be the cost of each bag of oranges.
The total cost of the oranges is 8x.
The equation to solve is 6.49 + 8x = 59.53.
First, subtract 6.49 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x: 8x = 53.04.
Then, divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x: x = 6.63.
Each bag of oranges costs $6.63.
