29 POINTS TO WHOEVER GETS THIS RIGHT ( NEEDS AN EQUATION AND ANSWER)

Ava bought snacks for her team's practice. She bought a bag of oranges for $2.71 and a 4-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $6.75. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine jj, how much each bottle of juice cost.

Answer 1

Answer: Let j be the cost of each juice bottle.

The total cost of the juice bottles is 4j. The total cost of the oranges and juice bottles is $6.75.

Thus, the equation that represents the given information is: 4j + $2.71 = $6.75. Subtract $2.71 from both sides to get: 4j = $4.04. Divide both sides by 4 to get: j = $1.01.

Therefore, each juice bottle costs $1.01.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Total cost = cost of a bag of oranges + cost of 4-pack juice bottles

$6.75= $2.71 + (4 x jj)

$6.75 = $2.71 + 4jj

take similar terms: $6.75 - $2.71 = 4jj

Add similar terms: $4.04 = 4jj

Divide both sides of the equation by 4: jj = $4.04 / 4=

jj = $1.01
