Question

Sophie bought snacks for her team's practice. She bought a bag of chips for $2. 49 and a 12-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $27. 57. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, how much each bottle of juice costs?

Answer 1

2.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given conditions formulate 2.49+12x=27.57

Rearrange unknown terms to the left of the equation 12x=12.57-2.49

Calculate the difference 12x=25.08

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable

x=25.08 divided by 12

Calculate the quotient

x=2.09
