Mary bought 3 hamburgers and 2 sodas for $7.50. A soda costs $0.75. Tax is included in the prices. What is the cost of one hamburger?
A.
$1.50
B.
$2.00
C.
$2.50
D.
$3.00
To calculate the cost of one hamburger, we need to subtract the cost of the sodas from the total cost of $7.50.
The cost of the sodas is $0.75 x 2 = $1.50.
So, the cost of the hamburgers is $7.50 - $1.50 = $6.00.
Mary bought 3 hamburgers, so the cost of one hamburger is $6.00 รท 3 = $2.00.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. $2.00.
To find the cost of one hamburger, we can start by finding out the total cost of the sodas. We know that Mary bought 2 sodas and each soda costs $0.75. So the total cost of the sodas is 2 * $0.75 = $1.50.
Next, we can subtract the cost of the sodas from the total cost of the hamburgers and sodas, which is $7.50.
$7.50 - $1.50 = $6.00
Now, we can divide the remaining cost ($6.00) by the number of hamburgers Mary bought (3) to find the cost of one hamburger.
$6.00 / 3 = $2.00
Therefore, the cost of one hamburger is $2.00.
So the correct answer is B. $2.00.
well, the 2 sodas cost $1.50
That leaves $6.00 for the 3 burgers
so ...
