Question

P= 2.5m + 35

p represents the price in dollars of a bracelet, where m is the cost of the materials in dollars. the price of a bracelet is $115. what is the cost of the materials?

Answer 1

$32 because 2.5 times 32 is 80 and 80 plus 35 is 115

Answer 2

The given equation = P = 2.5m + 35, where p = price in dollars of a bracelet and m is the cost of the material.

Total price of bracelet = 115 dollars. Find the cost of the material

=> p = 2.5m + 35, where p =115

=> 115 = 2.5m + 35

=> 115 – 35 = 2.5m

=> 80 = 2.5m

=> 80 / 2.5 = 2.5m/2.5

=> 32 = m

Thus, the cost of the material is 32 dollars.

Hope this helps!
