Question

What is the price of a can of soda if a case of 24 is 8.99

Answer 1

Each can of soda will cost $0.37

Explanation:

First you write 24/8.99 = 1/x because you are trying to find the cost for 1 soda

24/8.99 = 1/x

Then you cross multiply.

24*x 8.99*1

24x=8.99

Divide each side by 24

24x/24=8.99/24

x=0.374583

Round it to the nearest hundredths place.

x=0.37

Answer 2

Discount:

20% is .2 as a decimal, so you multiply the value of 12 by .2

12(.2)=2.4

The discount is $2.40

Sale Price:

subtract 2.4 from the price of the original price

12-2.4=9.6

The sale price is $9.60
