Amadou bought snacks for his team's practice. He bought a bag of chips for $1.71 and a 24-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $26.91. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine jj, how much each bottle of juice costs.

Answer 1

Building and solving an equation, it is found that each bottle of juice costs $1.05.

Her total cost of $26.91 is composed by:

• A bag of chips that cost $1.71.

• 24 juice bottles, each costing j.

Hence, the equation is:

$1.71 + 24j = 26.91$

Solving it, we find the cost of a bottle of juice, hence:

$1.71 + 24j = 26.91$

$24j = 25.2$

$j = \frac{25.2}{24}$

$j = 1.05$

Each bottle of juice costs $1.05.
