Jessica and Callista go the local burger joint. They both want to buy the meal deal. Jessica has 34 of the money needed to buy the meal deal and Callista has half of the money needed to buy the meal deal. If the meal deal was $3 cheaper, then together they would have exactly enough money to buy two of the meal deals.

What is the original price of the meal deal? Show or explain how you got your answer.

The original price of the meal deal if they would have exactly enough money to buy two of the meal deal is $4

How to write and solve equation?

let

x = cost of the meal

Both = 2x - 3

  • Jessica = 3/4x
  • Callista = 1/2x

3/4x + 1/2x = 2x - 3

(3+2)x / 4 = 2x - 3

5/4x = 2x - 3

5/4x - 2x = - 3

(5-8)x/ 4 = -3

-3/4x = -3

x = -3 ÷ -3/4

= -3 × -4/3

= 12/3

x = $4
