    x = (25.92 - 2.57) = 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Bob bought eggs and potatoes at a store.

    He pays a total of $25.92 for both the egg and potatoes

    He pays $2.57 for the eggs.

    He buys 5 bags of potatoes that each cost same amount. The equation that can be used to determine the cost of x, of each bag of potatoes can be calculated as follows:

    Let

    number bag of potatoes = x

    The cost of the whole potatoes he bought = $ (25.92 - 2.57)

    The cost of the whole potatoes he bought = $23.35

    The cost of 1 bag of potatoes (x) = (25.92 - 2.57) / 5

    x = (25.92 - 2.57) / 5

    it is same as

    x = (25.92 - 2.57) = 5

    I believe that A is the correct answer because this is how I would normally solve the equation. X representing the unknown cost of each bag of potatoes.
