Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Total cost = (7 items * Cost per item) + Shipping fee = 7*6.5 + 8.5 = $54

(b)

Modelling the above equation with symbols:

c = s*6.5 + 8.5 = 6.5s + 8.5

(c)

For a total cost of 80$, c = 80:

80 = 6.5s + 8.5

Calculating, we get:

s =  11 items

Rachel ordered a total of 11 items

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each item costs $6.50, and there is a shipping fee of $8.50 for the entire order.

a) if she buys 7 items, the cost of the item would be

(7 × 6.5) + 8.5

= $54

b) Let s represent the number of software items ordered and c represent the total cost of the order. Therefore, the equation describing this situation is

6.5s + 8.5

c) if her total cost was $80, it means that

6.5s + 8.5 = 80

6.5s = 80 - 8.5

6.5s = 71.5

s = 71.5/6.5

s = 11

She ordered 11 items.
