Question

If 11 bumper stickers cost $10.34 then 30 bumper stickers cost

Answer 1

$28.20

Explanation:

First, find out how much each bumper sticker costs.

Assuming that the cost of each bumper sticker is the same, the following equation represents how much one bumper sticker costs

11x = 10.34

Solve for x [divide both sides by 11]

x = 0.94

So, one bumper sticker costs $0.94

Now, find out how many 30 bumper sticker costs.

The following equation represents how much 30 stickers cost.

30x = y

X represents the cost of one sticker and y represents the cost of 30 stickers.

We already know the value of x [one bumper sticker's cost] which is $0.94, so subsitute that in for x.

30[0.94] = y

28.2 = y

So, 30 bumper stickers cost $28.20.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

$28.20

Explanation:

Let's set up an equation.

Let b be the cost of a bumper sticker.

Since the sum of the prices of 11 bumper stickers total up to $10.34, we can set up an equation!

11b = 10.34

Dividing by 11 on both sides,

b = 0.94

Plugging in b into 30b,

30(0.94)

We get

$28.20
