To find the cost of each bag of oranges, we start by determining how much Mila spent on the oranges. Since she spent a total of $22.39 and $6.58 on cookies, we can calculate the amount spent on oranges by subtracting the cookie cost: \[ \text{Cost of oranges} = \text{Total cost} - \text{Cost of cookies} = 22.39 - 6.58 = 15.81 \] Now, she bought 3 bags of oranges, each costing \( x \). This gives us the equation: \[ 3x = 15.81 \] Now, we can solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{15.81}{3} = 5.27 \] So, the cost of each bag of oranges is \( x = 5.27 \).
