A lawyer spends $75.00 on 3 staplers and 3 pads of paper. If each stapler costs $21.75, and each pad of paper costs x dollars, which statement is true?

Each pad of paper cost 3.25. Here is how I found it.

21.75 x 3 = 65.25
75 - 65.25 = 9.75
9.75 / 3 = 3.25

X = 3.25

Is this what you were looking for?
If staplers cost 21.75 each and there’s 3, you would need to do 21.75x3=65.25
You have 9.75 left for pads of paper and there’s 3 so 9.75/3=3.25

Each pad of paper costs $3.25 or x=3.25
Hope this helped!
