Laney buys 3 containers of yogurt. She has coupons for $0.35 off the regular price of each container. After using the coupons, the total cost of the yogurt is $3.45. What is the regular price of a container of yogurt?

?????? No idea

P= 1.50

Yes, that is correct

3 (p - .35) = 3.45

Thanks

To find the regular price of a container of yogurt, we can use the given information. Let's break down the problem and solve it step by step.

We know that Laney bought 3 containers of yogurt, and each container had a coupon for $0.35 off the regular price.

Let's suppose the regular price of a container of yogurt is represented by 'x'. Since Laney used three coupons, the cost of each container of yogurt after applying the coupon will be (x - $0.35).

So, the total cost of the yogurt after using the coupons is $3.45.

Hence, we can set up an equation:

3 * (x - $0.35) = $3.45

Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of 'x', which represents the regular price of a container of yogurt.

1. Distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
3x - 3 * $0.35 = $3.45

2. Simplify the equation:
3x - $1.05 = $3.45

3. Add $1.05 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with 'x':
3x = $3.45 + $1.05

4. Combine the right side of the equation:
3x = $4.50

5. Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for 'x' (the regular price):
x = $4.50 / 3

Calculating this, we find:
x = $1.50

Therefore, the regular price of a container of yogurt is $1.50.
