well 5 x 7= 35. Because he has seven children, and he is monogramming all of them. So 262.50- 35= 227.50 for the backpacks without the monogramming cost.
So 227.50/7= 32.50 per backpack. So 32.50 should be your answer!

The cost of 7 monograms at $5 would be $35. So take 262.50 and subtract the 35 for monograming. Now you have the cost of the 7 backpacks, 227.50
Divide 227.50 by 7, and each backpack was $32.50.
