Question

Teri joined the Yummy Frozen Yogurt Club. One of the member’s benefits is getting $0.65 off each yogurt cone purchased. Last month, she had yogurt 5 times and spent $24.35. The following equation will help determine how much the regular price of a cone would have been. 5(p – 0.65) = 24.35 Which steps solve the equation?

Answer 2

p = 5.52

Explanation:

5(p - 0.65) = 24.35

Divide both sides by 5:

⇒ (5(p - 0.65) ÷ 5 = 24.35 ÷ 5

⇒ p - 0.65 = 4.87

Add 0.65 to both sides:

⇒ p - 0.65 + 0.65 = 4.87 + 0.65

⇒ p = 5.52
