Answer:
42.5 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of salsa .
Since Malia split it up in 5 equal parts in bowls equally.
So, amount of salsa in each part = [tex]\frac{x}{5}[/tex]
Since we are given that each bowl contained 8.5 ounces of the salsa .
[tex]\Rightarrow \frac{x}{5}=8.5[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow x =8.5 \times 5[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow x =42.5[/tex]
Thus the total amount of salsa in the original container is 42.5 ounces
Hence the equation is [tex]\Rightarrow \frac{x}{5}=8.5[/tex] and and value of x, the total amount of salsa in the original container is 42.5 ounces .
