Question

Mrs.Daniel pays $324 for a handbag and 3 pairs of shoes.The handbag costs half as much as the 3 pairs of shoes combined.What is the cost of the handbag?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of the handbag = $ 108

Explanation:

Let cost of the handbag = x dollars

cost of the three pairs of shoes = 2x  dollars  (because handbag costs half as much as the 3 pairs of shoes already given in the question)

Now x + 2x = 324

Now solve this equation for x, Solve for x to get isolate x

3x = 324

x = $108

So, cost of the handbag = $ 108

That's  the final answer.

I hope its help you.
