Answer:

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.
