So, we know that Raymond bought bottles of water at $2.10 each. Let's say he bought b bottles of water. That means the cost of all the bottles of water would be 2.10b.
Next, he bought a large pizza for $12.99. So, the total cost of the pizza and the bottles of water would be 2.10b + 12.99.
We are told that the total cost was $21.39. So, we can set up the equation:
2.10b + 12.99 = 21.39
And there you have it! A clown-inspired equation to represent Raymond's water bottle purchase.
The cost of each bottle of water is $2.10.
So the total cost of b bottles of water is 2.10 * b.
The cost of the large pizza is $12.99.
Then the total cost of b bottles of water and a large pizza is 2.10 * b + 12.99.
According to the problem, the total cost is $21.39.
So the equation is: 2.10 * b + 12.99 = 21.39.
Let's assume that Raymond bought 'b' bottles of water. We know that each bottle of water costs $2.10. So, the cost of 'b' bottles of water can be calculated as 2.10b.
The total cost of the large pizza was $12.99.
So, the total cost of the purchase, including the bottles of water and the pizza, is $21.39.
To write an equation representing the given scenario, we add the cost of the bottles of water and the pizza:
2.10b + 12.99 = 21.39
This equation represents the relationship between the number of bottles of water bought and the total cost of the purchase.
