Question 1122458: For a field trip, a high school wants to buy T-shirts and sweatshirts. The expression px + 29y represents the cost of buying x T-shirts and y sweatshirts from a store.
If each sweatshirt costs $17 more than a T-shirt, what is the value of p?

If 29y represents the cost in dollars of y sweatshirts, then substitute 1 for y so that you can calculate the cost of 1 sweatshirt. Then you can subtract 17 from that number and get the cost of a t-shirt.
