Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. Alison bought some storage tubs for her garage. She bought 3 large ones and 6 small ones, for $48 total. If the large tubs cost $6, how much do the small ones cost?
User
Let t be the price of the small tubs. 3 * 6 + 6 * t = 48. 18 + 6 * t = 48. 6 * t = 48 - 18 = 30. 6t = 30. t = 5 dollars for each small tub.
The final answer: 5.
