Question

Jim bought 2 packs of batteries from a store. The price of each pack was the same. After he bought the batteries, his account balance showed a change of −$23.94. What would have been the change to Jim's account balance had he only bought 1 pack of batteries from the store? (5 points)

−$21.94
$11.97
$21.94
−$11.97

Answer 1

$23.94/2 = amount subtracted for one pack of batteries

-11.97

Answer 2

Hi,


He spend a total of 23.94 for both packs. Since you want to find a price of only one pack you need to divide 23.94 with 2.


`23.94 / 2 = 11.97`

Answer: 11.97

Hope this helps.
