Henry bought snacks for his team's practice. He bought a bag of chips for $2.25 and a 5-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $9.95. How much was each bottle of juice?

Respuesta :

$1.45Let
explanation: \( x \) be the cost of each juice bottle.

The total cost before tax is the sum of the cost of the bag of chips (\$2.25) and the 5 juice bottles (\( 5x \)):

\[ 2.25 + 5x = 9.95 \]

Now, solve for \( x \):

\[ 5x = 9.95 - 2.25 \]

\[ 5x = 7.70 \]

\[ x = \frac{7.70}{5} \]

\[ x = 1.54 \]

So, each bottle of juice costs $1.54.
