Question

Anderson spends more than $25 to buy 5 cans of vegetable broth and some pounds of beans. The cost of 5 cans of vegetable broth is $16.75. Each pound of beans, b, is $1.50

Answer 1

If you looking for the amount of beans

25 = 16.75 + 1.50×b

25-16.75 = 1.50b

8.25 = 1.50b

8.25/1.50 = b

b = 5.5
