Question

A bottle of laundry detergent costs $4.95 per bottle. If you have a coupon for $2.00 off and your total is $7.90, how many bottles of detergent did you buy? WRITE AN EQUATION AND SOLVE.

Answer 1

You bought 2 because if you add $7.90 and $2.00 the coupon you would get $9.90 so then you multiply $4.95 by 2 and you get $9.90 the exact amount we had before
