Sophie bought snacks for her team's practice. She bought a bag of chips for $2.49 and a 12-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $27.57. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, how much each bottle of juice costs?
Answers
Answer:
$2.09
Step-by-step explanation:
bag of chips = 2.49
1 pack of juice bottles = J
total cost before tax was = 2.49 + 12 J = 27.57
12 J = 27.57-2.49
12 J = 25.08
J = 25.08/12
J = 2.09
1pack of juice bottles price is $2.09
The Cost Of 1 Juice Bottle Is $2.08
Given
Cost of a bag of chips = $2.49
Total cost = $27.57
TO FIND
The algebraic equation.
Cost of each bottle of juice.
SOLUTION
We can simply solve the above problem as follows-
To form an algebraic equation,
Let, the cost of one bottle of juice be, x
Therefore,
Cost of 12 juice bottles = 12x.
It is given,
Cost of a bag of chips = $2.49
Total cost = $27.57
The equation can be formed as follows-
cost of a bag of chips+cost of 12 packs of juice = Total cost.
2.49 + 12x = 27.49
Rearranging unknown to the left side of the equation,
12x = 27.49-2.49
12x = 25
Solving for x we get,
x = 25/12 = 2.08.
Hence, the cost of 1 juice bottle is $2.08
