Algebra.Com's Answer #798280 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! ($39.39-$2.91)/24=x, the cost of the juice bottle. The tax rate is not mentioned, so you can ignore it. \n" ); document.write( "=$36.48/24 \n" ); document.write( "=$1.52 per bottle \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "It is total cost-oranges=24x, since there are 24 bottles. \n" ); document.write( " |
