i think you made some typos
so the total cost is 2575. plug that into n in the equation so
2575=8t+65
now solve for t

oh yes...how many refrigerators can be manufactured for a total of 2575
OpenStudy (nikato):
ok, so can you solve for t?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok let me try
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2575=8t+65 =2575/8=8t/8+65/8

nice try. but using PEMDAS, u would go backward, so your first step would be subtracting 65 on both sides
2575=8t+65
-65 -65
-------------
2510=8t
---- --
8 8
t=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
313.75
OpenStudy (nikato):
yes and you would round down to 313 because you cant have .75 of a refrigerator and you cant round up, because you wont have enough money to make that remaining .25 of a refrigerator
