Kennedy bought snacks for her team's practice. She bought a bag of popcorn for $3.30 and a 5-pack of juice bottles. The total cost before tax was $13.25. Which tape diagram could be used to represent the context if xx represents how much each bottle of juice costs?

Answer 1

The tape diagram that could be used to represent the context would be:

Bag of popcorn: $3.30
5-pack of juice bottles (each bottle costing xx): 5 * xx = 5xx

Total cost before tax: $13.25

The tape diagram would look like:

------------------
3.30 | |
------------------
5xx | 13.25 |
