Question

Sofia purchased groceries worth $36 for a party. A gallon of fruit punch costs $2.25, a gallon of ice cream costs $4.50, and a gallon of lemonade costs $3.00. If Sofia bought 6 gallons of fruit punch and 3 gallons of ice cream, how many gallons of lemonade did she buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 gallon of lemonade

Step-by-step explanation:

Fruit= 2.25×6=13.5

Ice cream = 4.50×3=13.5

Lemonade = 3.00×x=3.00x

13.5+13.5+3.00x=36.00

27.00+3.00x=36.00

3.00x=36.00-27.00

3.00x=9

Divide both sides by 3

x=9/3.00

x=3

Answer 2

Answer:

3 gallons at 3 dollars a piece

Step-by-step explanation:

2.25 •6=13.50

4.50•3=13.50

13.50+13.50= 27.00

36-27=9

9÷3=3
