if a bottle of pop cost 50 cents more than the deposit and the cost including deposit is 60 cents, how much does the drink cost.

Question

i have no idea is its as simple as 60, or more complicated

 

Answer 1

d = deposit

d + 50 = cost of pop

 

d + d + 50 = 60

2d + 50 = 60

2d = 10

d = 5

 

The cost of the pop is 55 cents.
