Jessie's Juice Bar prices its bottled juices by rising the wholesale price 50% and then adding 25¢. What is the wholesale price of a bottle of juice that sells for $2.95?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Selling price = 1.5(Wholesale Price) + $0.25 = $2.95. Solve for Wholesale Price.

@mathmale $1.80

Seems reasonable at first glance! Let's check whether $1.80 actually is the Wholesale Price by substituting it back into my equation: 1.5($1.80) + $0.25 =?= $2.95? $2.70 + $0.25 =?= $2.95
