An online music store charges $14 for each CD. Shipping costs $6 per order. Online shopping:
A.) write a variable expression for the cost of ordering CDs. • In this problem you don’t know the number of CDs. Variable expression
Your conditional statement will always begin with identifying the variable beginning with the word “Let” Step 1 – Letn represent the number of CDs. Step 1 of a conditional statement
Step 2 of your conditional statement will begin with the word “Then”. • This step will take the remaining information using the words in the problem to help you write your variable expression or equation. • Then if an online music store charges $14 for each CD at $6 shipping per order… Step 2
Step 3 – Now write your variable expression or equation. • 14n + 6 • Questions: • What does 14 represent? • What does n represent? • What does 6 represent? Step 3
Step 4 – • If I order 8 CDs • 14(8) + 6 = 118 Step 4 - Evaluate
Step 5 - Restate your answer in words – • If I order 8 CD’s at a cost of $14 each with $6 shipping, I will pay $118. Step 5 - Restate
