The junior class is selling granola bars to raise money They purchased 1250 granola bars and paid a delivery fee of $25 The total cost including the delivery fee was $800 Write and solve an equation to determine the cost of each granola bar

Answer 1

Let's assume the cost of each granola bar is x dollars.
The total cost of all the granola bars is the product of the number of granola bars purchased (1250) and the cost of each granola bar (x): 1250x.
Additionally, they paid a delivery fee of $25.
So, the total cost including the delivery fee is the sum of the cost of all the granola bars and the delivery fee: 1250x + 25.
We know that the total cost including the delivery fee was $800.
Therefore, we can set up the equation: 1250x + 25 = 800.
To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side. We can do this by subtracting 25 from both sides of the equation: 1250x = 800 - 25 = 775.
Finally, to find the cost of each granola bar, we divide both sides of the equation by 1250: x = 775/1250 = 0.62.
Therefore, each granola bar costs $0.62.
