Question

You bought 12 bottles of apple juice and orange juice. The apple juice was on sale for $1.00 per bottle. The orange juice was $1.75 per bottle. You spent $15. How many bottles of each type of juice did you buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 bottles of apple juice  + 4 bottles of orange juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, again here's what we know:

- Orange Juice is $1.75 per bottle

- Apple Juice is $1.00 per bottle.

Now, if we spend 15 dollars- we need to first find out the orange juice to be able to make it an even. So 1.75 times 4 gets us an even 7 dollars. Now that we have that information, we know that if we do another 4 bottles the price would be okay, but the amount of bottles would not be.

So, then we'll add in the rest in dollars as the apple juice. We have 4 juices but we need 12. So, 12-4=8. Therefor, you need 8 bottles of AJ and 4 bottles of OJ.

I hope this helps and best of luck on your work! Happy Holidays, stay safe!
