\(Six\) candleholders with each increasing the price of \(0.25\) and a total price of \(6.75\)
\(x + x + 0.25 + x + 0.5 + x + 0.75 + x + 1 + x + 1.25 = 6.75\)
\(6x = 3\)
\(x = 0.5\)
Price of the largest \(= x + 1.25 = 1.75\)
Answer C
\(x + x + 0.25 + x + 0.5 + x + 0.75 + x + 1 + x + 1.25 = 6.75\)
\(6x = 3\)
\(x = 0.5\)
Price of the largest \(= x + 1.25 = 1.75\)
Answer C
