Question

Mr. Peabody is buying lunch for his 3 daughters and they all want the same thing: 1/2 a pound of turkey at the cost of t dollars per pound, and 2 slices of bread, which costs $0.50 each. If the total cost of the lunches was $12, what was the price per bread?
Put the equation only.

Answer 1

Answer:

3(1/2t + 2*0.50)=$12 t=6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(1/2t + 2*0.50)=$12

3(1/2t + 1) = 12 apply multiplication

3/2t + 3 = 12 apply multiplication

1.5t + 3 = 12  Subtract 3 from both sides

1.5t = 9 Divide by 1.5

t= 6
