Question

The relation C=12 + 0.75T represents the cost

of a toy box (toys are included) in dollars. T
represents the number toys in the box. Write
an equation that is equal to a total of $19.50.

Answer 1

To find the number of toys, we can set the cost equal to $19.50 and solve for T.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation that is equal to a total of $19.50, we can set the expression C = 12 + 0.75T equal to $19.50 and solve for T.

12 + 0.75T = 19.50

Subtract 12 from both sides:

0.75T = 7.50

Divide both sides by 0.75:

T = 10

So, the equation that represents a total cost of $19.50 is T = 10.
