Ebony wants to buy a dvd player and dvds the equation relates the total cost for dvds and dvd player and n dvds is p=20n+200 what does the number 200 in the equation represent

It represents the cost of the DVD player.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why it represents the cost of the DVD player is because in the question, it doesn't mention anything about buying multiple DVD players. Ebony would need to buy many DVD's, but doesn't need many DVD players because ebony could use one for all of the DVD's. If you noticed in the question, it says "a DVD player," what  this means is that Ebony is only going to buy one DVD player, since it's singular (without and s at the end).

The equation is saying that she starts off with buying 1 DVD player for 200 dollars; and, she is buying n (number of DVDs) for 20 dollars each.

This shows that the 200 in the equation in the question represents the cost of the DVD player.
