The linear equation is $1.72 + 20*x = $43.52

And the solution is x = $2.09

Which equation can be used to model the given situation?

Here the information we have is:

Cameron bought a bag of popcorn for $1.72 and a 20 bottles of juice, and we know that the total cost before tax was $43.52

Now, if we define x as the cost of each bottle of juice, then the cost for the 20-pack is 20 times x, then we can write the linear equation:

$1.72 + 20*x = $43.52

Solving that linear equation we can get the value of x:

20*x = $43.52 - $1.72 = $41.80

x = $41.80/20  =$2.09

Thus, we conclude that each bottle costs $2.09.
