samir bought snacks for his teams practice. he bought a bag of popcorn for $1.67 and a 24 - pack of juice bottles. the total cost before tax was $31.19. write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, how much each bottle of juice cost.
answer attempt 1 out of 3
equation:
answer: x =

Explanation:

Step1: Define the cost components

The cost of popcorn is $1.67, and the cost of a 24 - pack of juice with each bottle costing $x$ is $24x$. The total cost is $31.19. So the equation is $1.67 + 24x=31.19$.

Step2: Solve for $x$

Subtract 1.67 from both sides: $24x = 31.19 - 1.67$. Calculate the right - hand side: $31.19−1.67 = 29.52$. Then divide both sides by 24: $x=\frac{29.52}{24}$.

Step3: Calculate the value of $x$

$\frac{29.52}{24}=1.23$.

Answer:

Equation: $1.67 + 24x = 31.19$
