Your friend bought a box of spaghetti for $1.59 and 2 jars
of spaghetti sauce. The total cost was 56.49. Find the cost of one jar
of sauce.​

Answer 1

one jar of sauce costs 2.45

Explanation:

1.59+2x=56.49

subtract 1.59 from both sides of the equation

2x=4.9

4.9/2

x=2.45

Answer 2

The cost without spaghetti is 56.49-1.59=54.9. This is the cost of the two jars of sauce. The cost of each jar is 54.9/2=27.45
