Question

Paulita is buying 4 boxes of fruit loops. she has a coupon for 1.00 off each box. her total bill is 10.36. write and solve an equation to find the original price of the fruit loops.
I literally just need help on setting up the equation. I can do the rest

Answer 1

The equation would have to be set up as 4b - 4 = 10.36. This is because you’re buying 4 boxes of fruit loops, and $1 taken off each box is $4 total for all four boxes.
