Question

Mary is buying hair clips online. The online store charges a fee for each hairclip and a shipping fee. On Monday, Mary placed an order for 8 hairclips, and her total came to $33.75. On Friday, she placed an order for 11 hair clips, and her order came to $44.25. Find the price of each hair clip and the price of shipping.

Answer 1

$4 a clip $1.00 for shipping for each order because 33.75x44.25=78
4x19(clips total)= 76
78-76=2
2/2=1
so $1 for shipping for each order and $4 a clip
