Answer 1

Answer:

the cost of one toy train is $0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Toys brought by Roberto = 2 toy car and 2 toy trains

Toys brought by Mary = 2toy plains and 1 toy train

Let the cost of one train be = X

If there total cost is same , then ,

The cost of 2cars+2trains = The cost of 2plains +1 train.

2×1.25+2X= 2×1.5+X

2.5 +2X=3+X

2.5+2X-X=3

2.5+X=3

X= 3-2.5

X=0.5

Now,

The total cost of toys brought by Roberto = 2.5+2×0.5

= 2.5+1

=$3.5

and

The total cost of toys brought by Mary

=3+0.5

=$3.5

Therefore ,

$3.5=$3.5

The total cost of toys brought by Roberto=The total cost of toys brought by Mary

Hence, the cost of the toy train is $0.5
