Distributive Property Problem Set help please
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?
I must write an equation or something? i have likec 5 of these problems
ok so id davis bought 7 lights, and each one cost 29.95x2.00 then solve this equation \[29.95\times2.00\times7=x\]
My bad just 4 but i dont understand
wait I got it wrong let me rephrase \[29.95+2.00\times7/x\]
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
223.65 dollars in total
no i dont just need the answer im iin need of how you id it i need to learn
RObyb these questions are my specialty, let me help you
if im not wrong as the cost of each light is actually (29.95+2) hence the total cost is 31.95*7
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
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
i hope you get it!
ok im going to do the equation \[29.95 + 2.00 = 31.95? \]
ok miltiply by 7 gotchu
223.65? :o
good job :D now try to do that for the rest of your questions, and if you need any help let me know (:
Do you think you could help me with the next 3?
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?
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
