Ed bus a box of eggs costing £2.30, two packs of bacon for £2.60 each and two tins of baked beans. He pays with a £10 note gets 80p change how much did the tin of beans cost?

£0.85 for each

£1.70 for both

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable x = cost of baked beans

2.30 + 2(2.60) + 2x = 10 - 0.80

Use PEMDAS

2.30 + 5.20 + 2x = 10 - 0.80

7.50 + 2x = 9.20

Subtract both sides by 7.50

2x = 1.70

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable

x = 0.85

Let's check our work by plugging this into our original equation

2.30 + 2(2.60) + 2(0.85) = 10 - 0.80

2.30 + 5.20 + 1.70 = 10 - 0.80

7.50 + 1.70 = 9.20

9.20 = 9.20

Our number is correct
