Question

Eli bought snacks for his teams practice. He bought a bag of oranges for $3.43 and a six pack of juice bottles. The cost before tax was $5.89. Write and solve and equation which can be used to determine x. How much each bottle of juice costs

Answer 1

Answer: $0.41

Explanation:

Cost of a bag of orange = $3.43

Cost of each bottle of juice = x

The cost of six pack of juice bottles = 6 × x = 6x.

Total cost before tax = $5.89.

The amount of each bottle of juice will be:

$3.43 + 6x = $5.89

6x = $5.89 - $3.43

6x = $2.46

x = $2.46/6

x = $0.41

Each bottle of juice cost $0.41 or 41 cents
