Answer 62

do you know 20 cents is 0.2 dollars?

Answer 63

now i do

Answer 64

they say you get a discount of 0.2 dollars (20 cents) for each bottle.
For example, if you bought 2 bottles you would get 0.40 off (2*0.20)

Answer 65

if you bought 3 bottles you would get off 3*0.20 = 0.60 (60 cents off)

the rule is if you have "b" bottles (b is some number)
then the amount of discount is b times 0.20

Answer 66

they tell you
the expression to find the final cost of the case of juice is 15-0.2b


it is the cost of the case minus the amount of discount
