Question

Nathan buys 8 bottles of iced tea at the grocery store. He has coupons for $0.35 off the regular price of each

bottle. After using coupons, the total cost of the drinks is $7.20.
Part A Which equation can be used to find the regular price, p, of each bottle of iced tea?
Part B What is the regular price of a bottle of iced tea?
$_____per bottle

Answer 1

Part A- 8 (x -0.35)= 7.20

Part B- 1.25 dollars per bottle

Explanation:

Part A- Step 1: (Distributive Property)- 8x - 2.8 = 7.2

Step 2: 8x -2.8 + 2.8= 7.2 + 2.8

Step 3: 8x= 10

Step 4: 10/8= 1.25

Therefore, each bottle equals 1.25 dollars. You can resolve it to get the same answer.
