Question

Paul and Jamie are making necklaces to sell at a craft fair. The tools and other start-up materials cost $12.50. There is an additional cost of $3.25 per necklace. Which equation can be used to find the total cost, c, of making a certain number of necklaces, n?

Answer 1

Total cost is represented by = c

Number of necklace is represented by = n

One time cost of tools and start-up materials = $12.50

Cost of making one/per necklace = $3.25

So, equation becomes:

cost = one time cost + 3.25(number of necklace)

$c=12.50+3.25(n)$

$c=12.50+3.25n$
