Including tax, the total cost is $11.58
Cost of each bag of ice = $0.96
Total cost of ice = 2 * $0.96
= $1.92
No. of soda bottles = 6
Let cost of each bottle be x
1.92 + 6x = 11.58
6x = 11.58 - 1.92
6x = 9.66
x = 9.66/6
x = 1.61
Cost of each soda bottle is $1.61
That makes the total cost of all bottles $9.66

B = 1 bag of ice
S= 6 bottles of soda
2B = 2(0.96) = $1.92
$11.58-$1.92=S
Solve for S, S = ($11.58-$1.92)
(Answer: since the question asks for the total price of 6 bottles of soda you get the following answer of $9.66)

Let s be the cost of 6 sodas including tax
(2)(0.96) + s = 11.58
s = 11.58 - (2)(0.96)

11.58 -(2 x .96) = 6 bottles
11.58 - 1.92 = 6 bottles
9.66 = 6 bottles
9.66 divided by 6 = 1 bottle
1.61 per bottle

2 ice cost 1.92 including tax
6 sodas including tax then must cost 11.58-1.92
6Sodas=11.58-2Ice

$11.58 = 2i + 6s
i = $0.96
6s = $11.58 - 2i
and if you want to calculate the cost of each bottle including tax
6s = $11.58 - 2($0.96)
6s = $11.58 - $1.92
6s= $9.66
s = $1.61

1.92 + 6x = 11.58
6x = 11.58 - 1.92
6x = 9.66
x = 9.66/6
x = 1.61
