Anand bought snacks for his team's practice. He bought a bag of popcorn for $2.65 and a 15-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $34.45. How much was each bottle of juice?
To calculate the cost of each bottle of juice, we need to subtract the cost of the bag of popcorn from the total cost before tax to find the cost of the 15-pack of juice bottles. Then, we can divide the cost of the 15-pack by the number of bottles to get the price per bottle.
Let's do the math:
1. Subtract the cost of the popcorn from the total cost:
Total cost before tax - Cost of popcorn = Cost of 15-pack of juice bottles
$34.45 - $2.65 = $31.80
2. The cost of 15-pack of juice bottles is $31.80. Now we need to find out the cost per bottle:
Cost of 15-pack of juice bottles / Number of juice bottles = Cost per bottle of juice
$31.80 / 15 = $2.12
Each bottle of juice costs $2.12.
