Question

Jorge is going to buy bottled water in the market. The market sells the bottles in boxes. You have two types of boxes to choose from: small bottles and large bottles. If Jorge buys a box of small bottles and a box of large bottles, he will have to pay $ 30. If you buy a box of small bottles and three boxes of large bottles, you will have to pay $ 66. How much does a box of small bottles cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

  $12

Step-by-step explanation:

3 times the first purchase will get Jorge 3 boxes of each type for $90. That's 2 more small bottle boxes than Jorge gets for the second purchase at $66. Then those 2 small boxes cost $90 -66 = $24, or $12 for each small bottle box.
