To find the total number of postcards Jackson buys after 16 days of vacation, we can substitute \( d = 16 \) into the equation:
\[
p = d + 1
\]
Substituting in the value of \( d \):
\[
p = 16 + 1
\]
Now performing the calculation:
\[
p = 17
\]
So, after 16 days of vacation, Jackson will have bought a total of **17 postcards**.
\[
p = d + 1
\]
Substituting in the value of \( d \):
\[
p = 16 + 1
\]
Now performing the calculation:
\[
p = 17
\]
So, after 16 days of vacation, Jackson will have bought a total of **17 postcards**.
