27. Dylan bought 3 identical shirts online for a total cost of $71.83 including a flat rate of $7.99 for shipping. Write an equation to find the cost of each shirt, s.

Yeah, algebra sure confused me the first time I took it. I had a much more patient and engaging teacher the second time!

How would we find out in real life how much each shirt cost? We'd subtract 7.99 from 71.83 and divide the difference by 3, right??

Let's work that backward. Let's say a shirt cost $6. Three would cost $3(6), or $18. Since each shirt costs $s, our price for 3 shirts is $3s. We have to add shipping to get a total, which we are given. When writing an equation, we leave out labels like $ or meters or books or whatever.

3s + 7.99 = 71.83

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
