To find the weight of an appliance that costs $61 to deliver, we can substitute the given cost ($61) into the equation and solve for the weight.
Let's substitute c = $61 in the equation:
26 + 0.25p = 61
Subtracting 26 from both sides:
0.25p = 61 - 26
0.25p = 35
Now, dividing both sides by 0.25 to isolate p:
p = 35 / 0.25
p = 140
Therefore, the weight of an appliance that costs $61 to deliver is 140 pounds.
the equation 26+0.25p=c gives the cost c in dollars that a store charges to deliver an an appliance that weighs p pounds. Use the equation and a table to find the weight of an appliance that costs $61 to deliver
