Exercise 70 Page 530

Start with evaluating the price of one order of bacon.

B

Practice makes perfect

Let's start with evaluating the price of one order of bacon. To do this, we will divide the price of two orders of bacon, which is $3.96, by two. $3.96/2=$1.98 The price of a bacon is $1.98. Now we will use the fact that two pancakes and one order of bacon costs $4.92. Let's write this information algebraically and substitute $1.98 for the price of a bacon. Let p be the price of one pancake.

2p+ 1.98= 4.92

LHS-1.98=RHS-1.98

2p=2.94

.LHS /2.=.RHS /2.

p=1.47

The price of one pancake is $1.47. This corresponds with answer B.
