Question

P. Antonio is ordering 5 identical sandwiches and a bag of chips. The bag of chips costs $1.25, and the entire order costs $38.75. What is the price of one sandwich

Answer 1

$7.50

Explanation:

Let the price of one sandwich = x

Hence,

The total cost = Cost of 5 identical sandwiches + 1 bag of chips

The bag of chips costs $1.25, and the entire order costs $38.75.

Hence:

$38.75 = 5x + $1.25

5x = $38.75 - $1.25

5x = $37.50

x = $37.50/5

x = $7.50

Therefore, the price of one sandwich is $7.50
