Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: 299 + 45A + 30B + 50c

Part B: 569 (or 570 if you round it up)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Because there is no variable for the number of PlayStation 4s, let's assume that there is only one. That will be 299.

If A is the number of wireless controllers and each wireless controller is worth 45 dollars each, the price for the wireless controller(s) is 45A.

If B is the number of wireless controller charging stations and each wireless controller charging station cost 30 dollars, then the price of the wireless controller charging station(s) is 30B

If C is the number of games and each game cost 50 dollars, then the price of the game(s) is 50C

Put that all together, and we get 299 + 45A + 30B + 50c.

Part B:

Let's plug the numbers into the formula.

A = 2

B = 1

C = 3

$299 + 45A + 30B + 50c = 299 + 90 + 30 + 150 = 569\ dollars$
