Question

A 12-pack of pop is on sale for $2.50. Mr. Adams spends $20 on pop which saves her $18 off the regular price. What is the regular price of one 12-pack?

Answer 1

ok so for $2.50 a pack , Mr Adam spends $20
How many packs did Mr. Adam buy?
\[\frac{20}{2.50}=8\]
Mr. Adam bought 8 12-pack of pop fon sale for $2.50
We know that Mr. Adam saved $18
Really for 8 packs he should have paid $20+$18=$38
When pop is normal priced then Mr. Adam would have to pay $38 to buy 8 packs
So we come up with an equation
8*x=38
So x=the regular price of pop
So 8 times the regular price equals $38
Now solve for x to find out the regular price of pop
