Joaquin is ordering 5 identical sandwiches and a bag of chips. the bag of chips costs $1.25, and the entire order costs $38.75. write an equation you can use to find the price of a sandwich.

5x+1.25= 38.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering that Joaquin orders 5 sandwiches and the price of the bag of chips is 1.25, you can write an equation that the states that the price of a sandwich multiply by 5 units plus the price of the bag of chips is equal to $38.75:

5x+1.25= 38.75

x= price of a sandwich

You can solve this equation for x and find the price of the sandwich:

5x=38.75-1.25

x=37.5/5= 7.50

i assume that by 5 you mean 5 gallons.

(20)(0.25) = 15

removing 15 gallons reduces the tank from 20 to 5.

$12. that is my answer.
