It seems like the price is missing from the question, as in:
He estimates he will sell the boxes for ______ each
Without the price, forming an equation is not possible
Question 1-2 Jackson sells toolboxes of farming tools. He plans on selling them during a fair this weekend. He estimates he will sell the boxes for each, with shipping, regardless of order size. Which equation best represents this situation?
3 answers
In this case, we use variables to represent the cost of the big and the smaller boxes. Let x be the selling price of the big boxes while y be the selling price of the bigger boxes.
The total selling price of the smaller boxes is 20x. The total selling price of the bigger ones is 12y.
Now we know he is making a profit of $1,300
Hence in equation form, all the information above can be represented as:
20x + 12y = 1,300
I don't think you put in the full question, so I hope this helps :p
