ok..so Im doing this math program on the computer and I need to put this word problem into an equation form.

the word problem is.

you can order 10 shirts for $60 from a certain mail order company.From that smae company,you can order 20 shirts for $100.You can assume that the price increase is constant depending on the number of shirts ordered

The variable for the number of shirts ordered would be S..

can anyone help me?

incase you are wondering..Im using the online carnegielearning progrom.

 

And.... what is the equation you are trying to come up with?

 

To find b in y=4s+b, you can subsitute in one of the coordinate pairs for x and y. fro example you can subsitute 10 for x and 60 for y.This gives you 60=(4)(10)+b.solve this equation for b and substitute that value into the expression

help any?

 

Cost of shirts = 4.Number of shirts + 20 or Cost = 4.S + 20

Cost of 10 shirts = 4.10 + 20 = 60
Cost of 20 shirts = 4.20 + 20 = 100
Cost of 30 shirts = 4.30 + 20 = 140
Cost of 40 shirts = 4.40 + 20 = 180

It fits with the notion that the cost increase is 40.

 

FCUCK YEAH SEAN..JOO ARE MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!

Ive been trying to figure this out for an hour now.

 

now who wants to do my ECON homework?
