Number of bottles: 6

Coupon discount on each bottle: $0.50

Final price: $5.10

If p is the regular price of each bottle, then 6p is the regular price of 6 bottles. This means that we have used 6 coupons of $0.50, so the total discount should be 6*0.50 dollars. We subtract this amount from the regular price (6p), leading to $5.10. The equation that represents this situation is:


\begin{gathered} 6p-6\cdot0.50=5.10 \\ \Rightarrow6(p-0.50)=5.10 \end{gathered}
