Question

Rachel must store a few pices of her furnitur for six months. a storage unit cost $55 for the first month and $47.50 for the remaning months. how much will it cost to store her furniture

Answer 1

It will be $55 for the first month, and $47.50 for each of the last 5 months.
This means that 55 + (47.50 x 5) will tell us the total cost to store the furniture.
Do the multiplication in the parentheses first, then add 55 to that. :)
