<em>The price of a gallon of milk was $2.65. The price rose y dollars after the last hurricane. Then the price dropped $0.15 and later rose again by $0.05. Which expression represents the current price of milk</em>
My answer:
Let p is the price of milk
Given the information:
- Stage 1: The price of a gallon milk was $2.65
<=> p = 2.65
- Stage 2: rose y dollar
<=> p = 2.65 + y
- Stage 3: price dropped $.15
<=> p = 2.65 + y - 0.15
- Stage 4: <em> </em>rose again by $0.05
<em><=> p = </em>2.65 + y - 0.15 + 0.05
<=> p = y + 2.55
Hope it will find you well.
