Question

you go to the store and buy 5 large bags of skittles and a bottle of water . The bottle of water cost 1.50. If you spent 11.50 at the store, how much did each bag of skittles cost?

Answer 1

Explanation:

ANSWER:-

• Let the cost of one skittles be x.
• So the cost of 5 skittles will be 5x.

Now, given that:-

Cost of one water bottle is 1.50 units.

And amount that I spent is 11.50 units.

So, the reaming amount is

`11.50 - 1.50 = \boxed{10 \: units}`

So, now if I place in Equations,

5x = 10

`x = (10)/(5) = 2`

So, Each bag of skittles cost 2 units.
