Question

your robotics club is buying equipment. the shipping cost is $75. each robot kit costs $125. the total cost is $700. let n = number of kits. write an equation showing the total cost. solve for n. write 1 - 2 sentences explaining what your answer means.

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract shipping cost from total cost

$$125n+75 - 75=700 - 75$$
$$125n=625$$

Step2: Solve for \(n\)

Divide both sides by \(125\):
$$n=\frac{625}{125}$$
$$n = 5$$

Answer:

The value of \(n\) is \(5\). This means the robotics club bought \(5\) robot kits.
