Question

2. Long's Coffee Shop sells a refill mugs for $8.95. Each refill costs $1.50. Last

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.50R = 18.0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Mugs with M and Refills with R

$M = \ 8.95$

$R = \ 1.50$ per refill

$Total = \ 26.95$

Required

Determine the equation

If 1 refill costs $1.50, then

R refills will cost 1.50 * R

The relationship between the given parameters is:

$Total = M + Refills$

Substitute values for Total, M and Refills

$26.95 = 8.95 + 1.50*R$

$26.95 = 8.95 + 1.50R$

Solve for 1.50R

$1.50R = 26.95 - 8.95$

$1.50R = 18.0$

Hence, the equation to solve the value of R is $1.50R = 18.0$
