Question

You purchase n cartons of tennis balls at $25 per carton from an online retailer that charges 8% tax and $17 in shipping costs. The expression 25n +0.08(25n) + 17 can be used to represent the total cost.

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression is $\ (27n+17)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is Simplify the expression and identify the units

we have

$25n+0.08(25n)+17$

Find the product between 0.08 and 25n

$0.08(25n)=2$

substitute

$25n+2n+17$

Groups terms that contain the same variable

$(25n+2n)+17$

Combine like terms

$27n+17$

The expression above represent the total cost

therefore

the unit is in dollars ($)
