Answer: 1.68

Step-by-step explanation: It depends how your teacher thought how to solve this but the easiest way would be: 16.07 - 2.63 = 13.44 than 13.44 divided by 8= 1.68.

Answer:

$1.68

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost is $16.07 and there was 2 things bought- the oranges and the juice bottles. to make it easier to find the cost of the juice bottles, we'll subtract the cost of the oranges (2.63) from the total (16.07), which gives us 13.44. this number represents the total cost of only the bottles. To find out the cost if each individual bottle, you need to divide the total (13.44) by the number of bottles (8). This gives us 1.68, so the cost of each bottel is $1.68
