On a recent trip to the convenience store, you picked up 4 gallons of milk, 6 bottles of water, and 8 snack-size bags of chips. Your total bill (before tax) was $33.20. If a bottle of water costs twice as much as a bag of chips, and a gallon of milk costs $2.00 more than a bottle of water, how much does each item cost? csay) chips cost= $x Bottle of water- $ 2X Gallon of Milk = $ 2X+2 x+2x+2x+2 Total = Total = 5x+2 5x+2 = 33:20 → > 5x= 31.2 x= 313 = 6-24 chips cos += $ 6.24 Bottle of water=2 (6.24)= $12048 Gallon of milk = 266.24)+2 = $14.48
