Question

3. The total cost for 8 bracelets, including shipping was $54. The shipping charge was $6. Define your variable and write an equation that models the cost of each bracelet.

Answer 1

8x+6=54
8x= 48
x=6
i used x as a term for the bracelet so each bracelet is $6 with shipping

Answer 2

braceletcost+shipping=54
bracceletcost+6=54
minus 6
braceletcost=48
assuming that each bracelet cost the same
8b=48
divide both sides by 8
b=6

each costs $6
