Melissa collected 14 bottles on saturday and 9 bottles on sunday for recycling. on monday, she took all the bottles to the recycling center, where they paid her a certain amount, b, fore each bottle. however she had to pay the recycling center a one time service fee of .25. if she left there with 3.20 for the bottles, what is the value of b

Option B is correct that is the amount she is getting per bottle is $0.15  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the information that Melisande collected 14 bottles on Saturday and 9 bottles on Sunday

That means she has collected a total of 23 bottles

Let us assume that the amount she is paid for recycling is $b

Since she is left with $3.20 after the amount she gets for bottles we will get the equation below:

23b=3.20

Now, since she has to pay a one-time service fee equation will become

23b -0.25 =3.20

After simplification, we will  get

23b=3.20+0.25=3.45

b=3.45/23=.15

b=$0.15

Therefore, The amount she is getting per bottle is $0.15

HOPE THIS HELPS :)
