Suppose you buy x shirts to be shipped as one order. What is the cost of the shirts? What is the cost of shipping?
I think you need to know how many shirts were ordered per order. If ten shirts were ordered on ONE order, the cost is 10x+4
If ten shirts were ordered on ten orders, then cost is
10x+40
So I am not certain there is a definite answer here.
sorry I wrote the questionwrong!!!
A mail order company charges $12 for each shirt. Shipping costs $5 per order.
Write a variable expression for the cost of ordering x numbers of shirts.
cost=12x+5
That is to order x shirts one one order.
i had the same question on my pre-al test i couldnt figure it on when i was correcting it so i googled it and here it is! thanks guys!
