Question

The total cost of 5 doughnuts and 6 cookies at a bakery is $11.95.The cost of each cookie is $0.95.Select the equation and its solution that can be used to determine the cost,x, of 1 doughnut.

Answer 1

The equation for the situation is $5x+6(0.95)=11.95$

The solution to the equation is $x=1.25$

First, you must set up the equation.

$5x+6(0.95)=11.95$

Then, you must simplify the terms.

$5x+5.7=11.95$

Next, subtract 5.7 on both sides.

$5x=6.25$

Finally, divide 5 on both sides

$x=1.25$
