How to Solve Algebra Word Problems?

We are given;

Total Amount paid by Mila = $22.39.

Amount Mila paid for cookies = $6.58

Now, we are told that she also buys three bags of oranges. Now, if we denote the cost of each bag of orange to be x, then it means that;

Cost of 3 bags of oranges = $3x

Thus, we can write the equation to represent the cost of oranges and cookies as;

6.58 + 3x = 22.39

Subtract 6.58 from both sides to get;

3x = 22.39 - 6.58

3x = 15.81

x = 15.81/3

x = 5.27

Thus, the cost of each bag of orange is x = $5.27
