Question

yler bought snacks for his team's practice. He bought a bag of oranges for $1.94 and a 24-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $43.22. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, how much each bottle of juice costs?

Answer 1

1.94 + 24x = 43.22 ;

1.72

Explanation:

Given :

Cost of orange = 1.94

Pack of juice = 24

Total amount spent = 43.22

Cost of orange + (number of juice * cost per bottle) = total amount spent

Let cost per bottle = x

1.94 + (24 * x) = 43.22

1.94 + 24x = 43.22

24x = 43.22 - 1.94

24x = 41.28

x = 41. 28 / 24

x = 1.72
