Question

Corey spent $17.00 including sales tax on 2 sandwiches and 3 drinks the sandwiches cost $5.25 each and the total sales tax was $0.92. Fill in the table with the correct prices.

Answer 1

First we can subtract the sales tax so we are just working with what's left: $17 - $0.92 = $16.08. Then we multiply the price of the sandwiches by 2 for the number Corey bought: 5.25 x 2 = $10.50. Then subtract that amount from what you have left: $16.08 - 10.50 = 5.58. Then, take that amount and divide it by three drinks: $5.58 / 3(drinks) = $1.86 per drink. I don't see the table so I hope this answers the question well enough!:)

Answer 2

Well to start you already know the sandwich cost 5.25 and the total sales tax .92.
To find the cost of each drink

5.25 x 2= 10.50

10.50+.92=11.42

17.00-11.42= 5.58

5.58/3= 1.86

So the cost per Drink is $1.86

Hope this helped!
