    Lets say, I bought 3 cakes in the store and I spent $300, how much does a cake cost?

    The equation representing that situation is the following, calling x the cake cost, our unknown factor:

    3x = 300

    we can solve this equation by dividing all equation by 3:

    x = 100

    therefore each cake costs $100

    I want to buy eight bracelets, I don't know how much each bracelet costs, but the final cost will be $39.67.

    The equation would look like this:

    8 x c = 39.67

    Where c equals cost.

    To find the answer I would do the following:

    8 x c = 39.67

    c = 39.67 / 8

    c ≈ 4.95

    Each bracelet costs about $4.95.
