Question

A store sells dolls for $10 each. They charge a one time shipping fee of $5. Write an equations that gives the number of dolls, d, if the store made $100.

Answer 1

Answer: 100 = 10d + 5

Explanation:

Dolls are sold for $10 each so when checking the total amount made from the sale of d dolls you will multiply d by the price of each doll:

= 10 * d

= 10d

There is a $5 charge for shipping but this is one time so it is added to the total price of d dolls:

= 10d + 5

The total made was $100 so the equation above should equal $100:

100 = 10d + 5
