Camille buys a cake for $\$24.99$ . She also buys $12$ brownies. Each brownie costs the same amount. She spends $\$39.99$ on the cake and the brownies. Camille finds the cost of each brownie by calculating $(39.99\ -\ 24.99)\ \div\ 12$ . Tanya finds the cost of each brownie by solving the equation $39.99\ +\ 12b\ =\ 24.99$ , where $b$ is the cost of each brownie. Which approach uses the sequence of operations necessary to find the cost of each brownie: Camille’s, Tanya’s, both, or neither? Explain why. Respond in the space provided.

Respuesta :

The cost of each brownie is $1.25

Equation and expressions

Let the cost of each brownies be x

If she buys 12 brownies and each brownie costs the same amount, the cost of 12 brownies will be 12x

To find the value of x;

39.99 = 24.99 + 12x

12x =  15

x = 15/12

x = $1.25

Hence the cost of each brownie is $1.25
