Vanessa Farrell · Answer 1

34.9 = 10x-0.5 (10)

34.9=10x-5

39.9=10x

3.99=x

each watermelon is $3.99

Annabelle · Answer 2

So first off here we will need to do 34.90/10=3.49 next we need to add. 5 to these because this is the price of the watermelon with the discount on them now with. 5 added to them makes are end answer of $3.99 per watermelon without the discount.
