Question

Jamar delivers sandwiches for a restaurant that charges $9. 50 for each sandwich plus an $8 delivery fee. Jamar has an order that totals $65. Write an equation to describe this situation

Answer 1

$65

Explanation:

X=9.50 because you add the $8 delivery fee to equal 65 in total.

Answer 2

9.5x + 8 = 65

Explanation:

Let x = number of sandwiches.

The cost of x sandwiches is 9.5x.

The delivery fee is $8.

The total cost of an order is the price of the sandwiches, 9.5x plus the delivery fee, 8.

In this case, the total cost is $65.

9.5x + 8 = 65
