Question

a bottle of cider costs $2.88. the cider costs $2.70 more than the bottle. how much does the bottle cost

Answer 1

Let's assume the cost of the bottle is represented by x. According to the problem, the cost of the cider is $2.70 more than the bottle. Therefore, we can write the equation:

x + $2.70 = $2.88

Now, let's solve for x:

x = $2.88 - $2.70
x = $0.18

Thus, the cost of the bottle is $0.18.
