After the tour, Tyler’s mom bought a pretzel and a bottle of water for each family member. The bottles of water cost $1.50 each. If she paid a total of $30, how much did each pretzel cost? There were 5 family members

Answer:

4.50

Explanation:

water + pretzels =total

5(1.50)+ 5x =30

7.50+5x=30

5x=22.50

x=4.50

each pretzel is 4.5 $

1.50 • 5 = 7.5
7.5 - 30 = 22.5
22.5 / 5 = 4.5

so in conclusion, those are some expensive a** pretzels.
