Hello,
to find the total cost (c) of the colored strips we have to multiply the number of strips (n) by the cost of each color strip (99¢), that as an algebraic function is:

[¢]
Now, if we use 3 solid color strips, that means that we use 4 patterned strips, so:
Answer: c=n*99 and Cost per curtain= $7.97
The correct answer is 19,200. Hope this helps. :)
Hi,
Work:

To find the cost of gallons spend for 310 miles you need to first find the amount of gallons consumed on 310 miles path.

If each costs 3.5$ you need to multiply gallons with money.

You would spend 38.745$ to drive 310 miles.
Hope this helps.
