Q. This equation shows how the money Oxford Middle School spends on workbooks is related to the total number of workbooks they buy.d=18tThe variable t represents the number of workbooks bought by the school, and the variable d represents the total cost of those workbooks. How much would it cost Oxford Middle School to buy a total of 1 workbook?$____
Plug in t=1: We have the equation d=18t, where d is the total cost and t is the number of workbooks. We need to find the cost for 1 workbook, so we plug t=1 into the equation.
Calculate total cost: Calculate d when t=1: d=18×1.
Cost for 1 workbook:d=18×1 equals 18, so the cost for 1 workbook is $18.
