The total cost of 3 bags of chips and 4 jars of salsa at a
store is $11.25. The cost of each bag of chips is $2.75.
Write an equation that can be used to determine the cost
,
X, of 1 jar of salsa.

Answer :

Answer: 2.75(3) + 4x = 11.25

Step-by-step explanation:

It says each bag costs $2.75 and there are 3 bags so multiply those 2 and then subtract them from the total cost (11). What you get after you subtract is the total costs of the salsa so divide that by 4 to get the cost of each, in this case it doesn't ask so we leave it as 4x.
