Question

Katie buys a large pizza for $14.99 and bottles of soda for $1.50 each. If the total cost was $23.99, how many bottles of soda (b) did she buy

Answer 1

The number of soda bottles Katie bought is 6

The given parameters are:

• Large Pizza = $14.99
• Soda = $1.50 per bottle
• Total cost = $23.99

Assume the number of soda bottle is x.

So, we have:

$Total = Pizza + Soda \times x$

This gives

$23.99 = 14.99 + 1.50\times x$

Subtract 14.99 from both sides of the equations

$9 = 1.50\times x$

Divide both sides of the equations by 1.5

$6=x$

Rewrite the equation as

$x = 6$

Hence, the number of bottles is 6
