Question

PLS HURRY AND HELP ME Larry buys peanut butter and bananas at the grocery store. He spends $3.89 on peanut butter and $9.38 in all. Write and solve an equation to determine the amount x Larry spends on bananas.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = $5.49 cost of the bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

x = cost of the bananas

$3.89 = cost of the peanut butter

$ 9.38 is the cost of both

Bananas + peanut butter = $9.38

    x         +   $3.89           =   $9.38

                - $ 3.89            =  -$3.89          Subtract $3.89 from both sides

      x                                 =  $5.49
