At the shopping mall, Joaquin bought 4 pretzels and a bottle of water for 11.50 Kelly bought 3 pretzels and a bottle of water for 9.00. What is the price of a bottle of water?

the price of a bottle of water is $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of one pretzel.

Let y represent the price of one bottle of water.

At the shopping mall, Joaquin bought 4 pretzels and a bottle of water for 11.50. It means that

4x + y = 11.5- - - - - - - - - -1

Kelly bought 3 pretzels and a bottle of water for 9.00. It means that

3x + y = 9- - - - - - - - - - - - 2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

x = 2.5

Substituting x = 2.5 into equation 1, it becomes

4 × 2.5 + y = 11.5

10 + y = 11.5

y = 11.5 - 10

y = 1.5

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

answer:   2 multiplied by x =24
