Cost of each puppet = #$20.5#

Explanation:

The number of puppets : #50# -------(given)
Let cost of each puppet be #y#
So, total cost will be #50y#

He brought all string needed for #$125#

He needs to invest #$18# for EACH puppet for the remaining material, i.e.

#18 xx 50 = $900# is the total extra investment to be done.

So total cost will be : #125 + 900= 50y#

#therefore cost of each puppet will be :

#y = (125 +900)/50 = $20.5#
