Question 79359
<pre><font size = 5><B>
kevin bought 3 muffins and a bottle of 
juice that cost $1.45. He paid a total 
of $3.70. How much did each muffin cost??
(disregard tax)

Let the price of a muffin be $M.  Then,

3M + 1.45 = 3.70

Subtract 1.45 from both sides

       3M = 2.25

Divide both sides by 3

        M = .75

So each muffin cost 75 cents.
