At the supermarket Pryslide, 500ml bottles of shower gel cost $7 each. However, since the beginning of last week there has been a special offer: ‘Buy 2 bottles, get another one for $2.'

I strongly believe that the question requires us to calculate the cost of one 500ml bottle of shower gel based on this special offer of buy 2 bottles get another for just $2.

The correct answer is $5.33

Step-by-step explanation:

From a buyer's point of view,a 500ml bottle of shower gel cost is the $7 multiplied by 2 bottles plus $2 multiplied by 1 bottle all divided by 3 bottles.

The rationale for the denominator is that the total number of bottles bought would then equal 3 bottles .

Cost per bottle =($7*2)+($2*1)/3=$16/3=$5.33

Instead of a bottle costing $7,under the special arrangement a bottle would simply cost $5.33

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.

the answer is y = 11.54

hope this : )
