At the movies, you order 3 boxes of popcorn and a bottle of water. The cost of the bottle of water is $1.75. Your total cost is $9.25. Write an EQUATION to find the cost of one box of popcorn.

Answer 1

Explanation:

$9.25-$1.75=7.5

now you divide 7.5 by the number of popcorn have brought

$7.5 divided by 3= $2.5

Answer 2

3 boxes of popcorn and a bottle of water are $9.25
A bottle of water is $1.75

$9.25 - $1.75 = $7.5 (the price of 3 boxes of popcorn)
We divide $7.5 by 3 to know the price of one box of popcorn
$7.5 : 3 = $2.5
One box of popcorn costs $2.5
