The total cost for 8 bracelets, including shipping was $54. the shipping charge was $6.

define your variable and write an equation that models the cost of each bracelet.

Im pretty sure it would be 54: b - 6 if your looking for only the cost of the braclets nothing else.

For 8 bracelets, total cost = Actual cost + shipping = $54

shipping = $6 (constant)

Actual cost = $54 - $6 = $48 (for 8 bracelet)

Cost of one bracelet = 48/8 = $6

Let y be total cost of bracelet, and x be total number of bracelet,

so, the equation of the cost of each bracelet would be

y = 6x + 6.
