Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Brett orders 2 meatball,1 turkey,1 veggie party-size sandwiches.

Each sandwich costs the same amount.

The total amount cost of the sandwiches, including tax, is $54.36.

Question asked:

What is the cost of each sandwich including tax?

Solution:

Let cost of each sandwich including tax = $x$

Total number of sandwich = 2 + 1+ 1 = 4

As each sandwich costs the same amount and total amount of cost of 4  sandwiches, including tax, is $54.36, the equation will be:-

$x+x+x+x=\ 54.36\\4x=\ 54.36$

By dividing both sides by 4,

$x=\ 13.59$

Thus, the cost of each sandwich including tax is $13.59
