Haley is at the store buying some supplies for an art project. She decides to buy some colored pencils for $3.95 and a drawing tablet. The total cost of the supplies before sales tax is $6.94.

Question

What is the cost of the drawing tablet?

$1.76
$2.99
$3.01
$10.89

Answer 1

To find the cost of the drawing tablet, we can subtract the cost of the colored pencils from the total cost of the supplies.

Total cost of supplies = $6.94
Cost of colored pencils = $3.95

Cost of drawing tablet = Total cost of supplies - Cost of colored pencils
Cost of drawing tablet = $6.94 - $3.95
Cost of drawing tablet = $2.99

So, the cost of the drawing tablet is $2.99.
