A jumbo smoothie costs $4.95. Two jumbo smoothies and one medium smoothie cost $.15 more than 4 medium smoothies. How much does a medium smoothie cost?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The cost of 1 medium smoothie = $3.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 jumbo smoothie  =  $4.95

⇒  Cost 2 Jumbo Smoothies  =  2 x  $4.95 = $9.9

Let us assume the cost of 1 medium smoothie  = m

Now, the Cost of 2 jumbo smoothie and 1 medium smoothie   + $0.15

= 4 (cost of 1 medium smoothie)

$9.9  +  m  + $0.15   = 4 m

or,  10.15  = 4 m - m

or, 3 m = 10.15

⇒ m = 10.15/3 =  3.38

or, m = 3.38

Hence, the cost of 1 medium smoothie = $3.38
