Let

c ----> the cost of a bag of chips

we know that

The cost of a juice pouch ($2.50) plus the cost of 3 bags of chips must be equal to $5.05

The cost of 3 bags of chips is equal to multiply 3 by its cost c

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

solve for c

Subtract 2.50 both sides

Divide by 3 both sides

the answer is 1 becuz if it were 1.0 that would rip apart the entire so ya. : )
