A department store is selling its plastic shoe boxes for $1.50 off the regular price of a shoe box. You buy 4 shoe boxes.

Write an equation that gives the total cost \( t \) as a function of the regular cost \( r \) of a shoe box. Then find the total cost if the boxes regularly cost $3.59 each.

t=4(r-1.5)
4(3.59-1.5)=t= 8.36 dolla
Enjoy.

The solution is,
Herbal tea box = 3
Regular tea box = 7
What is simplification?
Simplify simply means to make it simple. In mathematics, simply or simplification is reducing the expression/fraction/problem in a simpler form. It makes the problem easy with **calculations **and solving.
here, we have,
from the given information, we get,
Le x be the number of herbal tea box and y be the number of regular tea box.
The herbal tea variety cost $1.50 per box and the regular variety cost $1.00 per** box **they bought A total of 10 boxes and spent $11.50.
x+ y = 10 .... (1)
1.50x + 1.00y = 11.50 ... (2)
From (1) and (2) we get
1.50x + 1.00 (10-x) = 11.50
or, 0.50x = 11.50 - 10
or, 0.50x = 1.50
or, x = 1.50/ 0.50
or, x = 3
**Substitute **x=3 in equation (1).
we get,
y = 10 -3
=7
Therefore, the** number **of herbal tea boxes is 3 and the number of regular tea boxes is 7.

The total cost t of buying 4 plastic shoe boxes when the regular price is $3.59 each can be calculated using the equation t = 4 r − 6 . Substituting $3.59 into the equation gives a total cost of $8.36.
