Question

a coach is buying snacks for 22 players at a soccer match. She pays a total of $77 to buy each player a bottle of water and an energy bar. The price of one energy bar is $2. w equal the price of a bottle of water. Write an equation that represents the situation.

Answer 1

$1.5 per water bottle.

Explanation:

One energy bar is equal to $2.

$2 * 22 players is equal to $44.

$44 - $77 is equal to $33.

$33 ÷ 22 players is $1.5.

the reason I divided $33 by 22 players is because you need to know how many dollars did he pay for each bottle of water so you divide the amount of dollars by the amount of players to get the amount of dollars of each water bottle.
