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

Hope this Helps!!!
