take the extreme case, the order is 26 books and all books cost $ 12.95

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

how much would this cost? (dont forget that each book cost an extra $ 0.50 shipping)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

how much ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

cost = number of books * [cost per book + shipping per book]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13.45

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yeah the total cost per book is 12.95+0.5=13.45 cost = number of books * [total cost per book]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what is the cost of 26 books?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

. . . .

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

445 :) do you mind helping me with another one ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i work this out ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

$780 = $0.80n + $0.4m n + m = 1200 solve the second equation for m, and sub into the first, then solve for n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait im confused how do i solve for m ? can you explain real quick ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

n + m = 1200 take n away form both sides m =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh m=1200

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

not quite, what happened to n?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont even know what im doing this is so confusing :/

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

n + m = 1200 take n away form both sides n + m - n = 1200 - n simplifying the left hand side m =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1200-n ? im sorry if im wrong

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

thats correct m = 1200 - n

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

now sub m into $780 = $0.80n + $0.4m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i did something wrong i got 1.84

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

you got 1.84 for what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk let me do it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):
