Question

A baker is calculating the charge for two types of cookies. what formula tells the cost, in dollars, if chocolate chip cookies are $1.50/dozen and lemon frosted cookies $1.00/dozen. c=number of dozen of chocolate chip cookies; L=number of dozen lemon frosted; T=total charge.

Answer 1

Answer: Each dozen of chocolate chip cookies costs $1.50/dozen. So if you sell C dozens of them, you win C*$1.50 dollars, where C is a positive integer number. Similar case for the lemon ones, the baker will win L*$1.00 dollars if he sells L dozens of them ( where L is a positive integer), the total charge is the sum of both parts; T = L*$1.00 + C*$1.50.

Answer 2

$1.50c(chocolate chips) +  $1.00L(lemon frosted)=T(total cost)
