The number of soda bottles Katie bought is 6
The given parameters are:
- Large Pizza = $14.99
- Soda = $1.50 per bottle
- Total cost = $23.99
Assume the number of soda bottle is x.
So, we have:
[tex]Total = Pizza + Soda \times x[/tex]
This gives
[tex]23.99 = 14.99 + 1.50\times x[/tex]
Subtract 14.99 from both sides of the equations
[tex]9 = 1.50\times x[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equations by 1.5
[tex]6=x[/tex]
Rewrite the equation as
[tex]x = 6[/tex]
Hence, the number of bottles is 6
