Question

PLS HURRY AND HELP ME Larry buys peanut butter and bananas at the grocery store. He spends $3.89 on peanut butter and $9.38 in all. Write and solve an equation to determine the amount x Larry spends on bananas.

Answer 1

x = $5.49 cost of the bananas

Explanation:

x = cost of the bananas

$3.89 = cost of the peanut butter

$ 9.38 is the cost of both

Bananas + peanut butter = $9.38

x + $3.89 = $9.38

- $ 3.89 = -$3.89 Subtract $3.89 from both sides

x = $5.49
