I really need help with this Algebra problem (REWARD: 98 pts.)

I ordered some books online for myself and friends.
Each book costs $13 and the store charges a flat rate for shipping of $20.
Write an expression for the cost of buying n books.

13b + 20

Hope this helps

Each book costs $13, with a flat rate of $20.

Let books = b

13b + 20 is your expression, as you'll have to pay 20 no matter how much books you buy for shipping.

hope this helps
