A package of pencils cost $6.25 per set at an office supply store. Which equation can be used to determine the price, P, of n sets of these pencils? n = 6.25P P = 6.25n n equals 6.25 over P P equals 6.25 over n

Razor:

The price is P and the cost is the same thing as the price correct?

KittyGirl:

yes

Razor:

The thing is P could also refer to package or pencils

KittyGirl:

true

KittyGirl:

im kinda confused on that part

Razor:

A package of pencils cost $6.25 (per) set at an office supply store. ....per.... I'm confused too..if I make a mistake the answer might be wrong but I would say the last answer

Razor:

Don't you think so Kitty?

AnimeGhoul8863:

AnimeGhoul8863:

KittyGirl:

AnimeGhoul8863:

im sorry im not help here ummmm @Hero HELP

Razor:

Hmm....Well since 6.25 is the price that makes sense too

Razor:

@KittyGirl

Razor:

I have the answer XD

Razor:

We are both wrong so it's actually the second choice

KittyGirl:

how?

Razor:

(Asking my mom rn...cuz she used to be a math teacher..)

KittyGirl:

oh ok

Razor:

Because Price(P) = the unit price which is 6.25 x the amount of pack you buy which is (n)

KittyGirl:

@Razor can you come here for a sec?
