The snack bar at the school purchases water bottles at wholesale and then marks them up to make a profit. It marks up the water bottles by 33 and one-third percent, an amount of $0.28. What was the wholesale price of each water bottle?

$0.84

Step-by-step explanation:

0.28 x 3 = 0.84

0.28 0.28 0.28

                      =  0.84

33% 33% 33%

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
