Christopher bought 4 pens that cost the same amount of money and a marker that cost $3. He spent a total of $11. Which statement correctly describes how to find the cost of each pen arithmetically? Answer Choices Subtract the product of 4 times $3 from $11 and divide the difference by 4. Add the product of 4 times $3 to $11 and then divide the sum by 4. Subtract $3 from $11 and then divide the difference by 4. Add $3 and $11 and then divide the difference by 4.

Respuesta :

Subtract $3 from $11 and then divide by 4. 
Hi! 

I believe the correct answer here is option C. Subtract $3 from $11 and then divide the difference by 4.

Since you only want to know how much the pens cost each, you just need to take the $3 marker out of the equation by subtracting it from the total. Then you need to divide the $8 that you get out of 11-3 by 4, and that's how much each pen costs. 

Hope this helps :)
