Question

Emily purchased 5 packages of bottled water for $14.95. Each package of bottled water cost the same amount.What is the cost per package of bottled water?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Total cost of package = $14.50

Number of package = 5

To find the cost of each package;

$Cost \; per \; package = \frac {Total \; cost \; of \; package}{Number \; of \; package}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Cost \; per \; package = \frac {14.5}{5}$

Cost per package = $2.9

Therefore, the cost per package of bottled water is $2.9.
