The equation 18+0.15p=c gives the cost c in dollars that a store charges to deliver an appliance that weighs p pounds. Use the equation and a table to find the weight of an appliance that costs $36 to deliver. The appliance weighs pounds.
To find the weight of an appliance that costs $36 to deliver, we can substitute $36 for c in the equation:
18+0.15p=36
Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation:
0.15p=18
Divide both sides by 0.15:
p=120
Therefore, the appliance weighs 120 pounds.
To find the weight of an appliance that costs $36 to deliver, we can substitute $36 for c in the given equation and solve for p.
18 + 0.15p = 36
Subtracting 18 from both sides:
0.15p = 36 - 18
0.15p = 18
Now, divide both sides by 0.15 to solve for p:
p = 18 / 0.15
p = 120
Therefore, the weight of the appliance is 120 pounds.
