Answer 2

Lurinda will end up paying $55 for 8 boxes of cards.

Explanation:

We have,

Cost of the cards = $6.50n + $3.00, where n is the number of boxes ordered.

Now, if she orders 8 boxes of cards, the cost of the cards will be,

Cost of the cards = $6.50 × 8 + $3.00

i.e. Cost of the cards = $52.00 + $3.00

i.e. Cost of the cards = $55

Hence, Lurinda will end up paying $55 for 8 boxes of cards.
