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]

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

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

$780 = $0.80n + $0.4m
