Question

Grayson bought snacks for his team's practice. He bought a bag of popcorn for $3.50 and a 5-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $11.05. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let
`x` be the cost of a juice bottle. Then

`3.50+5x=11.05`

Solve this:

`5x=7.55` (subtracted 3.50 from both sides)

`x=7.55/5=1.51` (divided both sides by 5)

So juice bottles cost $1.51

Answer 2

7.55

Explanation:

3.50 + x = 11.05, x = 11.05 - 3.50, x = 7.55
