Question

7. You bought a Gatorade and 4 bags of apples for $5.50. Write the equation that determines how much

each bag of apples was if the Gatorade cost $2.50.

Answer 1

Answer: (5.50-2.50)/4 = 0.75. each bag of apples is $0.75

Explanation:

first, you subtract $5.50 by $2.50 to get $3, the cost of the 4 bags of apples altogether ($5.50 - $2.50 = $3)

then you divide $3 by 4 to get the cost of each bag of apples. (3/4 = 75)

so each bag of apples is $0.75

i hope this helps!
