QuestionTranslate "the cost of $x$ textbooks if one textbook costs \ $117" into an algebraic expression using$ x$.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The cost of one textbook is $117. We are asked to find the cost of$ x$ textbooks3. The cost of the textbooks is directly proportional to the number of textbooks

STEP 2

We can express the cost of $x$ textbooks as a product of the cost of one textbook and the number of textbooks.
$Cost = Number\, of\, textbooks \\times Cost\, of\, one\, textbook$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the number of textbooks and the cost of one textbook to form the algebraic expression.
$Cost = x \\times \$117$ The cost of $x$ textbooks if one textbook costs $117 is$ x \times \ $117$ .
