Please help, I don't know how to solve the problem.

OpenStudy (fawniebambi):

The price of a bottle of water at the deli just went up $0.30. The average price of the new price and the old price is $1.13. Choose the equation that you would use to find the new price of a bottle of water. Let p = the new price of a bottle of water. p + (p + 0.30)/2 = 1.13 p + (p - 0.30)/2 = 1.13 p + (p - 0.30) = 1.13 p + (p - 0.30) = 1.13/2

well p is the price of the bottle of water. p+0.30 is the new price. p is the original price. \[\frac{ p+(p+0.3) }{ 2 } = $1.13\]

Thank you!

let's solve this

So further simplifying this we would get \[2p+0.3 = 2.26\]
