Solve.An order consists of 64 screws. Of these, #8 machine screws make up five less than twice as many #6 machine screws. If the #8 screws cost 3 cents each and the #6 screws cost 5 cents each, what is the total cost of the order?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


$2.38

e + s = 64 Substitute: 2s - 5 + s = 64
e = 2s - 5 3s = 69
?s = 23
e = 2(23) - 5 = 41
3(41) + 5(23) = 238 cents = $2.38
