Q. Isabella buys 13 bottles of cranberry juice at the corner store for a total cost of $13.78. If each bottle costs the same amount, how much is 11 bottles of juice?Answer: $
Calculate cost per bottle: First, we need to find out how much one bottle of cranberry juice costs by dividing the total cost by the number of bottles Isabella bought. So, $13.78 divided by 13 bottles.
Divide total cost by number of bottles: Doing the division, $13.78 ÷ 13 equals $1.06 per bottle.
Find cost of 11 bottles: Now, we need to find out the cost of 11 bottles. So, we multiply the cost of one bottle by 11. $1.06 times 11 bottles.
Multiply cost per bottle by 11: Multiplying $1.06 by 11 gives us $11.66.
