Crystal could not find the price of the bag of chips. Crystal had a coupon for $1.50 that she used. Write an equation to determine crystals total bill (T) given the cost of one bag of chips.

Answer 1

Equation to determine crystals total bill (T) =(7.7+2x) - 1.50

Explanation:

Given:

Number of bottles of pop purchased = 4

Number of candy bars purchased = 3

Number of chips bag purchased = 2

Cost of per bottle of pop = $1.25

Cost of per candy bar = $.90

Cost of the coupon = $1.50

To Find :

Equation to determine crystals total bill (T) given the cost of one bag of chips = ?

Solution:

Let the cost of one chips bag be x

Cost of 4 bottles of pop

=>
`4 * 1.25`

=>$ 5

Cost of 3 candy bars

=>
`3 * 0.90`

=>$ 2.7

Cost of 2 bags of chips

=>
`2 * x`

=>$ 2x

Now the total cost of the bill is

T = 5 + 2.7+ 2x

T =7.7+2x

Also Krystal had a coupon worth $1.50, the cost of the ticket will be

T =(7.7+2x) - 1.50
