Question

Fred orders pictures from a photographer. Each picture costs $5.50. A one-time shipping fee of $4.25 is added to the cost of the order. The total cost of Fred’s order before tax is $70.25. How many pictures did Todd order?

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the shipping fee is one time than start by subtracting 4.25 from 70.25

70.25-4.25= 66

Now 66 it the total the pictures cost alone without shipping.

To find the amount Fred ordered divide 66 by 5.50 because 5.5 is the amount each picture costs

66 ÷ 5.5 = 12

Fred ordered 12 pictures.

Answer 2

Fred ordered 12 pictures

Explanation:

70.25-4.25 (one time shipping fee) =66

then you take 66 and divide it by the cost of each picture

66/5.50= 12 pictures
