Question

Jonathan bought snacks for his team's practice. He bought a bag of oranges for $2. 66 and a 20-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $12. 6. How much was each bottle of juice?

Answer 1

$0.50

Explanation:

Total cost before tax = Cost of oranges + Cost of juice bottles

$12.6 = $2.66 + Cost of juice bottles

Cost of juice bottles = $12.6 - $2.66 = $9.94

There are 20 juice bottles in the pack, so to find the cost of each bottle, we divide the total cost of the juice bottles by the number of bottles:

Cost of each juice bottle = Cost of juice bottles / Number of juice bottles

Cost of each juice bottle = $9.94 / 20

Cost of each juice bottle = $0.497

Therefore, the cost of each juice bottle was $0.497, or approximately $0.50, before tax.
