Let represents the total cost. We know for our problem that each yard of satin fabric costs $8.09, so yards will cost . similarly, each yard of cotton fabric costs $3.79, so yards will cost . We can also infer that the total cost, , will be the sum of the yards of satin fabric and the yards of cotton fabric, so:
Now, to determine the amount that Angeline would spend in all if she bought 5 yards of satin fabric and 8 yards of cotton fabric, we just need to replace and in our expression:
We can conclude that if Angeline would spend in all if she bought 5 yards of satin fabric and 8 yards of cotton fabric, she would spend $70.77
