Answer: c(p) = 0.59*p
All we do is multiply the price per pound (0.59) by the number of pounds (p). In this case, we don't know how many pounds there are. So we leave p as is. If for instance, we had 10 pounds, then we'd replace p with 10. The variable is simply a placeholder for the unknown number.
This can be solver by creating a small equation with x being the number and solving for x. The equation would be 8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Solve for x:
8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Distribute the 2
8+ (2x+6)=-6
Subtract 8
2x+6= -14
Add 6
2x= 8
Divide by 2
x=4
So the number you are looking for is 4
I hope this helps!
