Brandon bought snacks for his team's practice. He bought a bag of popcornfor $2.11 and a 6-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $11.41.Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, how mucheach bottle of juice costs?

Answer 1

x represents the cost of each bottle of juice. Given that he bought a pack containing 6 bottles of juice, the cost of the 6 pack juice bottles would be $6x

Given that the total cost of a bag of popcorn which costs $2.11 and a 6-pack of juice bottles is $11.41, it means that

2.11 + 6x = 11.41

6x = 11.41 - 2.11

6x = 9.3

x = 9.3/6

x = 1.55

The cost of each bottle of juice is $1.55
