Question

Gavin bought snacks for his team's practice. He bought a bag of apples for $2.50 and a 18-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $18.16. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine jj, how much each bottle of juice costs.

Answer 1

Answer: 87 c

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the cost per juice box, we must first factor out the bag of apples from the equation. So we will disregard the price of the apples from the total price and also disregard the existence of the apples altogether.

Our new subtotal is $15.66 for eighteen juiceboxes. To find the cost for one juicebox, we divide the price & the # of juiceboxes by 18.

15.66÷18=0.87, therefore each juicebox is 87 cents.
