Question

At the Silvermine Subs, they charge $5.75 for the basic sandwich and then $0.45 per ounce for the toppings. If Jordan paid for their sandwich with a $10 billhow many ounces of toppings could they have ordered?

Answer 1

Answer:

9.4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

this equation can be derived from the question

$5.75 + $0.45t = 10

where t = ounces of toppings

combine like terms

$0.45t = 10 - $5.75

$0.45t = $4.25

t = 4.25 / 0.45

t = 9.4 ounces
