Question

Marisa bought four bottles of water.Each bottle of water was 95 cents. Write an equation with the same product as the total cost but different factors

Answer 1

`5* 0.76= 3.8`

Explanation:

Given: Marisa bought four bottles

Price of each bottle is $0.95.

Solving with the factors as given to find the total cost paid by Marisa.

Total cost=
`4\ bottles* \$ 0.95= \$ 3.8`

∴ Total cost paid by Marisa is $3.8.

As given to write an equation with the same product as the total cost but different factors.

∴ Lets assume the number of bottles bought by Marisa be "5" and cost of each bottle be "x"

We already find the total cost she paid is $3.8.

Now, writing an equation with different factors, as total cost remain same.

`5* x= 3.8`

Dividing both side by 5

we get x= $ 0.76

∴ The required equation is
`5* 0.76= 3.8`
