Question

Help me Plz I’m stuck

Answer 1

Answer:

Use all the given information:

Price of a slice in $ -  x

Number of slices-  3

Total cost of  slices-  3x

Price of chopped cheese in $- 2+x

Number of chopped cheeses-  4

Total cost of chopped cheeses-  8+4x

Total cost-  7x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the price of a slice is x and that Dashaun bought 3 slices.

So to find the total amount paid for slices, multiply the price by the number of slices:

$3*x=3x$

We are told that the price of chopped cheese is $2 more than a slice. Use y as the cost for chopped cheese:

$y=2+x$

Dashaun bought 4 chopped cheeses.

To find the total cost of chopped cheeses bought, multiply the cost per cheese by the amount of cheese purchased:

$4y$

Insert the value of y:

$4(2+x)$

Use the distributive property:

$8+4x$

This is the total cost for the chopped cheeses.

To find the total of lunch, add the prices for the slices and cheeses together:

$T=3x+8+4x\\\\T=7x+8$

The total cost for lunch is 7x+8
