Write an equation for the situation:

Jolene bought three blouses at one price and two blouses priced $3 below the others. The total cost was $91.50. Find the price of the blouses.

The **cost **of the **three blouses **will be $28.5 while the **total cost **is $91.50.
How to form an equation?
Determine the **known **quantities and designate the **unknown **quantity as a variable while trying to **set up **or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.
In other words, an equation is a **set **of **variables **that are constrained through a situation or case.
Let's say the cost of the **first three **blouses is x dollars.
Then.
Total cost = 3x + 2(3)
3x + 6 = 91.50
3x = 85.5
x = 28.5
Hence "The **cost **of the **three blouses **will be $28.5 while the **total cost **is $91.50".

Jolene's first three blouses cost $19.50 each, while the two blouses priced $3 less cost $16.50 each. We used a variable x to represent the price of the first set and derived an equation to find both prices. The total cost for five blouses adds up to $91.50 as stated.
