Question

Jaxson buys ice cream and apples at the store. He pays a total of $24.81. He pays a total of $3.60 for the ice cream. He buys 7 bags of apples that each cost the same amount. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, how much each bag of apples costs.

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.03

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + $3.60 = $24.81

Subtract $3.60 from both sides of the equation:

7x + $3.60 - $3.60 = $24.81 - $3.60

7x = $24.81 - $3.60

7x = $21.21

Divide each side by 7:

(7x/7) = ($21.21/7)

x = ($21.21/7)

x = $3.03
