Question

A swim team ordered 36 jackets that each cost the same amount. The total cost of the order was $1,116. Let c be the cost of each jacket. How much did each jacket cost?

Answer 1

c = $1116/36

c = $31

Explanation:

the cost of each jacket can be determined by dividing the total cost of the 36 jackets by the number of jackets bought

cost of each jacket = total order cost / total number of jackets bought

$1116 / 36 = $31

Each jacket costs $31
