Answer
Variable
c = Cost of one bag of chips
Equation
2.50 + 3c = 5.05
Solution
c = Cost of one bag of chips = 0.85 dollars
Step-by-step explanation
Cost of one juice pouch = 1.25 dollars
Cost of 2 juice pouches = 2(1.25) = 2.50 dollars
Cost of a bag of chips = c dollars
Cost of 3 bags of chips = (3)(c) = (3c) dollars
(Cost of two juice pouches) + (Cost of three bags of chips) = Total Cost
2(1.25) + 3c = 5.05
2.50 + 3c = 5.05
Subtract 2.50 from both sides
2.50 + 3c - 2.50 = 5.05 - 2.50
3c = 2.55
Divide both sides by 3
(3c/3) = (2.55/3)
c = 0.85 dollars
