Question

Nick has a $45 Starbucks gift card. He purchased the same latte six times and has $18 left on the card. What was the price of each latte? What does the variable represent in this problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

The price of each latte was $4.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 18 = 45

6x = 45 - 18

6x = 27

x = 27/6

x = 4.5

The variable represents the cost of each latte.
