Question

Emma bought snacks for her team's practice. She bought a bag of chips for $2.27 and a 24-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $51.23. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine jj, how much each bottle of juice cost.

Answer 1

each bottle of juice costs $2.04

Explanation:

we first need to minus the cost of chips so we can focus on just the price of the juice bottles.

51.23-2.27

=48.96

this gives the total cost of all 24 bottles but we need the cost of just one, so we divide 48.96 by 24.

which gives us our answer of $2.04 per bottle.
