A full bottle of juice costs $2.00.If the cost of the juice is $1.50 more than the cost of the bottle, how much does the empty bottle cost?

Hint: Answer is not 50 cents.

x + (x+1.50) = 2.00

2x = .50
x = .25

check:
if bottle costs 25 cents, then the juice costs $1.75 ($1.50 more)
total cost = $2.00

No idea

Both is wrong it is 1d 2 c 3d 4b

To solve this problem, we can set up an equation based on the information given. Let's denote the cost of the bottle as 'x.'

According to the given information, the cost of the juice is $1.50 more than the cost of the bottle. So, the cost of the juice would be 'x + $1.50.'

We know that the total cost of the juice and bottle combined is $2.00. Therefore, we can write the equation as:

cost of bottle + cost of juice = total cost
x + (x + $1.50) = $2.00

Now, we can simplify the equation:

2x + $1.50 = $2.00

Next, we can subtract $1.50 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable 'x':

2x = $2.00 - $1.50
2x = $0.50

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for 'x':

x = $0.50 / 2
x = $0.25

So, the empty bottle costs $0.25.
