Question

Sebastian bought snacks for his team's practice. He bought a bag of chips for $2.51

and a 6-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $12.53. Write and solve an
equation which can be used to determine j, how much each bottle of juice costs?

Answer 1

12.53 = 6j + 2.51

Explanation:

Since there are 6 bottles, we would muitply j by 6 to end up with 6j

The price of the bag of chips, $2.51, is already added on to make up the total cost of $12.53

12.53 = 6j + 2.51
