Answer 1

Answer:

15N + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Amount of carpet bought by Peter = N meter²

The cost per meter square of the carpet = $15

So, the cost of 'N' meter square of carpet = 15N dollars.

Also, the delivery charge for the carpet = $21

Thus, the total cost of the carpet is given by,

Total cost = Cost per square meter + Delivery charge

i.e. Total cost = 15N + 21 (in dollars).

Hence, the expression representing the cost in dollars is '15N + 21'.
