Question

Michael has a $35 Starbucks gift card. He

purchased the same caramel macchiato 5 times
and has $7 left on the card. What was the price of
each caramel macchiato?

Answer 1

Each Caramel Macchiato is $5.60

Explanation:

You could write the equation 5x+7=35

x stands for the price of each macchiato

the +7 is the $7 left-over after getting 5 macchiatos.

Then solve the equation.

1) subtract 7 on both sides

5x=28

2) divide by 5 on both sides

x=5.60
