1. Mr. Davis bought solar lights for a pathway at his house. The lights cost $29.95 each and have an additional delivery charge of $2.00 per light. How much did Mr. Davis pay for seven solar lights with delivery?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I must write an equation or something? i have likec 5 of these problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so id davis bought 7 lights, and each one cost 29.95x2.00 then solve this equation \[29.95\times2.00\times7=x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My bad just 4 but i dont understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait I got it wrong let me rephrase \[29.95+2.00\times7/x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you see why? 29.95 plus 2.00 is the total cost for the lights and you times it by seven because he got 7 lights

OpenStudy (anonymous):

223.65 dollars in total

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i dont just need the answer im iin need of how you id it i need to learn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

RObyb these questions are my specialty, let me help you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if im not wrong as the cost of each light is actually (29.95+2) hence the total cost is 31.95*7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there are 7 lights total, so whatever the cost is for one light, you need to times that by seven. if each light costs 29.95, and 2 dollars for shipping, the total cost for one light is 29.95+2.00 then you need to take that and multiply it by 7 to get the cost for all 7 lights

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see the cost of one light is not only 29.95 but there is an additional charge too .. which will add up to the cost of each light

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope you get it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok im going to do the equation \[29.95 + 2.00 = 31.95? \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok miltiply by 7 gotchu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

223.65? :o

2. It costs Edgar $2.65 one way to ride the bus to work. He uses the bus to go to and from work four days per week. He buys a bottle of water that costs $1.45 on his way to work each day. How much does it cost Edgar to ride the bus and buy water for one week? aNY HELP?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for four days he uses the bus, so thats 2.64x4 he buys a bottle of water everyday, regardless of if hes riding the buss so 1.45x7 (assuming he goes to work the full 7 days in a week) then add those 2 sums together and you have your answer (: just break it down into tiny bits and pieces and it should be easier
