. Raymond buys bottles of water at $4.10 each and a large pizza at $12.99. The total cost was $37.59. How many bottles of water b did he buy
He bought 6 water bottles. (37.59-12.99)=? and then ?/4.10= your answer
so... 4.10b + 12.99 = 37.59; 6 bottles?
or …4.10 _+ 12.99b =37.59; 6 bottles ?
To find the number of bottles of water (b) that Raymond bought, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's assume he bought b bottles of water. Each bottle costs $4.10, so the total cost of the bottles of water can be calculated as 4.10b.
The large pizza costs $12.99, so the total cost of the pizza is 12.99.
Since the total cost of the bottles of water and the pizza is $37.59, we can set up the equation:
4.10b + 12.99 = 37.59
To solve for b, we can rearrange the equation:
4.10b = 37.59 - 12.99
Simplifying,
4.10b = 24.60
Divide both sides of the equation by 4.10:
b = 24.60 / 4.10
b ≈ 6
Therefore, Raymond bought approximately 6 bottles of water.
