Question

Todd orders pictures from a photographer. Eachpicture costs $7.50. A one-time shipping fee of$3.25 is added to the cost of the order. The totalcost of Todd's order before tax is $85.75. Howmany pictures did Todd order?

Answer 1

The number of pictures that Todd ordered can be obtained as follows:

- Subtract the one-time shipping fee from the total cost of Todd's order to obtain the total amount that the pictures cost, as below:

`85.75-3.25=82.5`

- Now, divide the result above (which is the total amount that the pictures cost ) by the individual cost of the pictures, as follows:

`(82.5)/(7.5)=11`

Therefore, Todd ordered a total of 11 pictures
