Question 617700
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">

Let *[tex \LARGE x] represent the cost of a camp stool.  Then *[tex \LARGE 8x] is the cost of a tent, and *[tex \LARGE x\ +\ 24] gets you a sleeping bag.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 8x\ +\ 3(x\ +\ 24)\ +\ 2x\ =\ 150]


Solve for *[tex \LARGE x], then calculate *[tex \LARGE 8x] and *[tex \LARGE x\ +\ 24]


Check your work.  Use the values to add up the bill and make sure it comes out to $150.
