Answer:
Total Cost, C=$(16S +56)
Step-by-step explanation:
Chris buys 8 more Ninja Turtles than Star Wars action figures.
Cost of each Ninja Turtle = $7
Cost of each Star Wars = $9
Let number of Star Wars bought = S
As per question statement, number of Ninja Turtles bought = S+8
Cost of 'S' number of Star Wars = Number of Star Wars bought cost of each Star Wars
Total cost of Star Wars bought = S 9 or $9S
Similarly, Cost of 'S+8' number of Ninja Turtles = Number of Ninja Turtles bought cost of each Ninja Turtles
Total cost of Ninja Turtles bought = (S+8) 7 or $(7S +56)
Total Cost of the purchase = Total cost of Star Wars Bought + Total cost of Ninja Turtles bought
Total Cost of the purchase, C = 9S + (7S +56)
