Question

Whiteboard markers cost $4.75 per set at an office supply store. Which equation can be used to determine the price, P, of n sets of these markers?
p = 4.75
n = 4.75p
p = 4.75/n
n = 4.75/p

Answer 1

if you want to buy two sets, any idea how much it will cost?

Answer 2

9.5 $

Answer 3

how did you find that number?

Answer 4

well since you said how it will cost for two sets so i multiplied the price for one set by two

Answer 5

most people would multiply 2*4.75

Answer 6

thats what i did

Answer 7

if you bought 3 sets you would do 3*4.75

it looks like the rule is multiply the number of sets times 4.75

Answer 8

now even though we use a letter "n" instead of a number
we can still use that same rule.

Answer 9

n sets
how much to buy "n" sets?
use the same rule.

Answer 10

so is the answer n = 4.75p

Answer 11

it would be
price is n times 4.75
or if we shorten that up
price = 4.75n (which means the same thing)
or
p= 4.75n

I don't see that as one of your choices, but that is the answer.
