Question

Jorge bought a crate of floor tiles for $95.94.The Crate had six boxes of floor tiles.Each Box contained 20 floor tiles.Write and solve an equation to determine the cost per box(b).Then write and solve a second equation to determine the cost per tile(t) to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:Cost per box: $95.94 ÷ (b)

            Cost per tile: [$95.94 ÷ (b)]÷ (t)

First, we are trying to find the cost of each crate. Since the whole order was $95.94, we have to divide. The answer to the cost per box is $15.99.

Second, we are trying to find the cost of each of the tiles in the crates. Since they are in each crate, we divide the crate price from the tiles. The answer of the cost per tile is $.80.

Hope this helped you out!
