Answer:

$1.030 ($1.03 rounded.)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to start of making an equation.

$2.36 + x = 6.48.

We will use x as the variable for the amount of each bottle of juice, because it is unknown.

Then, we must put the variable on one side of the equation. To do this, we must subtract $2.36 from $6.48; and $2.36 - $2.36.

  • $2.36 - $2.36 crosses out; 0.
  • $6.48 - $2.36 = $4.12.

We get the result that x = $4.12. However, only 1 pack is $4.12, and we must find the cost of 4 juice bottles. Therefor, we divide 4.12 by 4.

  • 4.12 / 4 =  1.030.
  • Now, to round the answer, this would be $1.03 per bottle.
