Question

One dollar can buy a bottle of mineral water two empty bottles can be exchanged for a bottle of mineral water question:how many bottles of mineral water can you drink at most with 20 dollars

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If one dollar can buy a bottle of mineral water, then;

$1 = 1 bottle

To determine the amount of mineral water you can drink  with at most  20 dollars, we will say;

$20 = x bottle

Solving both equality postulate;

$1 = 1 bottle

$20 = x bottle

Cross multiply

1 * x = 20 * 1

x = 20

Hence about 20 bottles of mineral drink can be bought with at most 20 dollars

Answer 2

Answer: 39

Step-by-step explanation:

You exchange $20 for twenty bottles of mineral water.

[Drank: 20

Exchanged: 20/2=10]

[Drank: 20+10

Exchanged: 10/2=5]

[Drank: 20+10+5

Exchanged: 4/2=2]

[Drank: 20+10+5+2+1

Exchanged: 2/2=1]

Drank in total: 20+10+5+2+1+1

which is = 39
