Billy is ordering 7 identical sandwiches and a drink. The drink costs $2.5 and the entire order costs $140.5. Write an equation you can use to find the price of a sandwich.

 $17.92/sandwich

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S be the price of a sandwich ($/sandwich).

7S is the total cost of the sandwiches.  Add a drink for $2.50 to find the total cost, which we are told comes to $140.50

7S + $2.50 = $140.50

7S = $138

S = $19.7143

It is odd that this includes a fraction of a single penny (0.43 cents).  Something is incorrect in the data given, since this should equal a whole number.  For now, I'll round up to $19.72.  The additional 7*($0.0043) = 4 cents will be treated as a tip.

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?

step-by-step explanation:

236 cm 16 time 12 = 192

6 times 7 = 42

192+42
