Answer:
The price for one cone before tax is $2.26.
Step-by-step explanation:
The tax for each cone is $.17
Ronnie buys six cones. The total tax for the cones is 6 X $.17 = $1.02
Next, we subtract the total taxes from the total price $14.58 - $1.02 = $13.56
So Ronnie owed $13.56 for the six cones BEFORE taxes. We takes this amount and divide it by six to get the cost for one cone.
$13.56 / 6 = $2.26 per cone.
Check our work
Purchase one cone for $2.26 plus $.17 cents tax = $2.43 total cost per cone.
6 cones at $2.43 each would be 6 X $2.43 = $14.58.
This matches the total bill from the story problem.
We are given that a+a+a+b+c=5a=a+a+a+a+a
subtract a+a+a from both sides, then
b+c=a+a
divide by two,
(b+c)/2=(a+a)/2=a
Answer: x=2
Explanation:
9(x+1)=25+x
9x+9=x+25
8x+9=25
8x=16
X=2
