A company orders boxed lunches from a deli. Assume each boxed lunch is the same price. The proportional relationship between the number of boxed lunches ordered, b, and the total cost in dollars and cents, c, can be represented by the equation c, equals, 11, point, 6, 5, bc=11.65b. What is the cost in dollars and cents per boxed lunch?

Answer 1

The equation given is \( c = 11.65b \), where \( c \) denotes the total cost and \( b \) denotes the number of boxed lunches ordered.

To find the cost per boxed lunch, we can determine the cost for one boxed lunch by substituting \( b = 1 \) into the equation:

\[ c = 11.65 \times 1 = 11.65 \]

Thus, the cost per boxed lunch is \( 11.65 \) dollars.

This means the cost in dollars and cents per boxed lunch is $11.65.
