She bought 3 large ones and 6 small ones, for $48 total. If the large tubs cost $6, how much do the small ones cost? Define a variable ** Let t be the price of the small tubs Write an equation ** 3*6+6*t=48 Combine like terms ** 18+6*t=48 Subtract 18 from both sides ** 6*t=48-18=30 Simplify ** 6t=30 How much do the small tubs cost? ** t=<<5=5>>5 dollars for each small tub #### 5 There are 40 more buyers in the grocery store today than yesterday.
