Answer:
Josie can by 4 dish sets.
Explanation:
Josie’s best friend is getting married and she wants to buy her something from her online wedding registry. She wants to buy some sets of dishes (d) that cost $35 each. Because she’s buying online, she must pay a shipping fee of $10. Josie wants to spend $150 or less. How many sets of dishes can Josie buy?
can be represented by equation:
35d + 10 = 150
subtract 10 from both sides:
35d + 10 - 10 = 150 - 10
35d = 140
divide both sides by 35:
35d/35 = 140/35
d = 4
Josie can by 4 dish sets.
check:
35(4) + 10 = 150
