Respuesta :

Answer:

$1.10

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been that Alex went to the grocery store and bought 5 avocados. He paid $10 and received $4.50 in change.

First of all, we will find amount paid for 5 avocados by subtracting $4.50 from $10.

[tex]\text{Amount paid for 5 avocados}=\$10-\$4.50[/tex]

[tex]\text{Amount paid for 5 avocados}=\$5.50[/tex]

Now, we will divide $5.50 by 5 to find cost of each avocado.

[tex]\text{Cost of each avocado}=\frac{\$5.50}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Cost of each avocado}=\$1.10[/tex]

Therefore, the cost of each avocado is $1.10.
