Question

Hudson bought snacks for his team's practice. He bought a bag of apples for $1.59

and a 10-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $7-39.
Write and solve an
equation which can be used to determine r, how much each bottle of juice cost.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let r be the cost of each juice bottle.

The total cost of the juice bottles is 10 * r = 10r.

The total cost of the apples and the juice is $1.59 + 10r = $7.39.

We can set up an equation using the above information:

$1.59 + 10r = $7.39

10r = $7.39 - $1.59 = $5.80

r = $5.80 / 10 = $0.58

Therefore, each juice bottle costs $0.58.
