Let's rewrite: t=x+yz Where t = total price x = amount down y = money each month z = number of months We want to find something, that's how much the computer costs... which of these values is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Very good. Now you know that Jeremy put *down* $600 So which of these values is this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

so x = 600... note that. Jeremy pays $35 per *month*, which of these values is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

And finally, he pays for 12 months, so 12 must be z, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 7620?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

No... how did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

600+35*12

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Well yeah... but you seem to have multiplied 12 to 635...

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Remember MDAS? You perform the multiplication first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1020?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

That's it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):
