Question 155995: How to solve this problem..."What is the total cost of buying several shirts at $24.95 each?
Answer by Earlsdon(6294)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, you need to know how many shirts you are going to buy. If you have not decided the number at this tims, then you assign a letter (called a variable) to represent the number of that you will buy once you have decided.
So, you let x = the number of shirts, and each of these shirts, we are told, will cost $24.95.
So, the total cost (C) of x shirts at $24.95 each can be found by multiplying x (the number of shirts) by $24.95 (the cost of each shirt)
C = (x)($24.95) or C = (24.95)x dollars.
