Question

Cyndee is taking her siblings out for dessert. Ice cream, c, costs $4.00 per cone. Brownies, b, are $2.00 each. Water for everyone costs $5.00. Cyndee knows that the cost of her desserts can be found using the expression 4c + 2b + 5. Which term will help Cyndee determine the amount of money she will spend on brownies?

Answer 1

Answer:

The term that represent the amount of money she will spend on brownies is 2b

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

c ----> the number of cones

b ----> the number of brownies

we know that

The cost of desserts can be found using the expression

$4c+2b+5$

where

4c ----> is the term that represent the amount of money spend in cones

2b ----> is the term that represent the amount of money spend in brownies

5 ----> is the term that represent the amount of money spend in water

therefore

The term that represent the amount of money she will spend on brownies is 2b

That means ---> the number of brownies (b) multiplied by the cost of each brownie ($2)
