Question

The furniture store sells each chair (c) for $225. To have them shipped to their house, the store charges $60. If the Browns bought c number of chairs, how much did they spend (s)?​

Answer 1

Answer:      s = 225c+60

==========================================================

Explanation:

1 chair = 225 dollars

c chairs = 225c dollars .... multiply both sides by c

This shows that buying c chairs costs 225c dollars

c is a placeholder for a positive whole number

Add on the $60 shipping cost to get the total cost 225c+60

Therefore s = 225c+60
