Abaseball team ordered 12 jerseys. each jersey costs the same amount. the shipping cost for the jerseys was $3 and the total cost of the order was $99. which equation can be used to find the price p of each jersey?

me!

Lets say each jersey cost x,

then 12 jerseys will cost 12x

Total costs will then be 12x + 3, 12x of costs plus $3 of shipping

We already know that the total cost is $99

so 12x + 3 = 99

Now isolate x by subtracting 3 from both sides

12x 3 - 3 = 99 - 3

12x = 96

Now divide both sides by 12 to find x

12/12x = 96/12

x = 8

Each jersey cost $8

You can use the equation 12x + 3 = 99 to find the cost of each jersey

Hope it helps :)

a=9
