Question

With show work needed. a and b.

Answer 1

a)

Solution,

Given,

Cost for 1 pen = $ 1.50

= 1.50×100 cents

= 150 cents

Cost for 1 ruler = 80 cents

No. of Pens needed to be bought = x

No. of rulers needed to be bought = x+10

Now,

Cost for x pens = x×150 cents

= 150x cents

Cost for (x+10) rulers = (x+10)×80 cents

= 80x cents+800 cents

Then,

Total cost = 150x cents+(80x cents+800 cents)

= 150x cents+80x cents+800 cents

= 230x cents+800 cents

= $(230x ÷ 100)+$(800 ÷ 100)

= $2.3x + $8

Therefore,Louise spent $2.3x and $8 as total amount
