Let h be the cost of a highlighter. We are told that:
6*h + 6*3.48 = 23.06
Subtract 6*3.48 from both sides:
6*h = 23.06 - 6*3.48
Divide both sides by 6:
h = (23.06 - 6*3.48)/6
$${\mathtt{h}} = {\frac{\left({\mathtt{23.06}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{6}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{3.48}}\right)}{{\mathtt{6}}}} \Rightarrow {\mathtt{h}} = {\mathtt{0.363\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!3}}$$ dollars
or, multiplying by 100 to get cents:
h = 36 cents to the nearest cent.
