Question

Cherries cost 4 dollars per pound. Mother bought r lbs and father bought 2 lbs. How much more money did mother spend on cherries than father?

Answer 1

T=  the total cost

T=4r+2

Answer 2

Answer:

4r-8

Step-by-step explanation:

First mother buys r lbs and that means it's 4*r and you simplify that to 4r. So you have that much money right now. You have to subtract 2*4 which can be simplified to 8. That's how you get 4r-8
