Angel spends $29
to order binders online.
They buy 8
binders and pay a flat fee of $5
for shipping.
What is x
, the cost of each binder?
To find the cost of each binder, we need to divide the total cost by the number of binders purchased.
Total cost = Cost of binders + Shipping fee
Total cost = x * 8 + $5
Since Angel spends $29 in total, we can set up the equation:
$x * 8 + $5 = $29$
Now, we can solve for x.
$x * 8 = $29 - $5$
$x * 8 = $24$
$x = $24 / 8$
x = $3
Therefore, the cost of each binder is $3. Answer: \boxed{3}.
To find the cost of each binder, we need to know the total cost of the binders as well as the number of binders Angel bought.
We know that Angel spent $29 in total, including both the binders and the shipping fee. We also know that the shipping fee is $5.
To find the cost of the binders alone, we can subtract the shipping fee from the total amount spent:
Total cost of binders = Total cost - Shipping fee
Total cost of binders = $29 - $5
Total cost of binders = $24
Now we can calculate the cost of each binder by dividing the total cost of binders by the number of binders Angel bought:
Cost of each binder = Total cost of binders / Number of binders
Cost of each binder = $24 / 8
Cost of each binder = $3
Therefore, x, the cost of each binder, is $3.
To find the cost of each binder (x), you can use the equation:
Total cost = Cost per binder * Number of binders + Shipping fee
Given that Angel spends $29 in total, buys 8 binders, and pays a flat fee of $5 for shipping, we can set up the equation as follows:
$29 = x * 8 + $5
To solve for x, we'll isolate the variable:
$29 - $5 = x * 8
$24 = x * 8
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
$24 / 8 = x
$x = $3
Therefore, the cost of each binder (x) is $3.
