I'm pretty sure he saved $27. I just divided 90 by 20 to get the amount of times he would have saved 6 dollars. Then, I multiplied that number, 4.5, times 6 to get the amount he saved. Hope that helps (and that it's correct lol). <span />
Answer:
3s + 7.99 = 71.83
Step-by-step explanation:
Yeah, algebra sure confused me the first time I took it. I had a much more patient and engaging teacher the second time!
How would we find out in real life how much each shirt cost? We'd subtract 7.99 from 71.83 and divide the difference by 3, right??
Let's work that backward. Let's say a shirt cost $6. Three would cost $3(6), or $18. Since each shirt costs $s, our price for 3 shirts is $3s. We have to add shipping to get a total, which we are given. When writing an equation, we leave out labels like $ or meters or books or whatever.
X is the number of movies for the cost of the plan to be the same.
4.25x=36+3.5x
4.25x-3.5=36
0.75x=36
x=36/0.75
x=48
