Question

Manny bought car wash supplies for $48 and 3 buckets for his car wash team. Jen did not buy any car wash supplies but bought 7 buckets. All the buckets cost the same amount,and they both spent the same amount of money write and equation to find the cost of 1 bucket

Answer 1

Manny
Cost of supplies = $48
Buckets = 3

Jen
buckets= 7

Amount spend by manny = Amount spend by Jen

48+3x= 7x
48 = 7x - 3x
48= 4x
48/4 = x
x= 12
Therefore each bucket costs $12
