Question

A swim team ordered 36 jackets that each cost the same amount. The total cost of the order was $1,116. Let c be the cost of each jacket. How much did each jacket cost? Choose the equation that represents this problem 1,116 xc = 36 C= 1,116 x 36 1,116 = 36 = C O c = 36 = 1,116

Answer 1

Answer

The equation that describes this is

1116 = c × 36

OR

c = 1116 ÷ 36

But the cost of 1 jacket = 31 dollars

Explanation

36 jackets were ordered.

Total cost of 36 jackets = $1116

Cost of 1 jacket = c dollars

Total cost of all the jackets = (Cost of 1 jacket) × (Number of jackets)

1116 = c × 36

1116 = 36c

We can rewrite this as

36c = 1116

Divide both sides by 36

(36c/36) = (1116/36)

c = $31

Hope this Helps!!!
