Let "x" be the original cost of each puzzle.
Since each puzzle was discounted by $0.50, Molly paid x - $0.50 for each puzzle.
Since she bought 6 puzzles, the total cost of the puzzles is 6(x - $0.50).
Since she spent $27 for the puzzles, then 6(x - $0.50) = $27.
Dividing both sides by 6, we get x - $0.50 = $4.50.
Adding $0.50 to both sides, we get x = $4.50 + $0.50 = $<<4.5+0.5=5>>5.
Therefore, the original cost of each puzzle is $5. Answer: \boxed{5}.
Molly has 6 grandchildren she likes to be fair and buy gifts for all of them at the same time she found jigsaw puzzles each discounted by.50 find the original cost of each puzzle if she spent a total of $27
