Question 346938: A pasta machine cost $33.oo and the ingredients to make one batch of pasta costs .33. One batch of pasta bought in a store costs .99.
How many batches of pasta will you have to make for the cost of the machine and ingredients to equal the cost of buying the same amount of pasta at the store. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the number of batches be x
cost of x batches = 0.33x
cost of machine = 33
cost of x batches in store = 0.99x
0.33x+33=0.99x
0.99x-0.33x=33
0.66x=33
x=33/0.66
x= 50 batches of pasta.
