Question

What formula tells the cost, in dollars, if chocolate chip cookies are $2.50/ dozen and lemon frosteds are $1.50/dozen? let c=number of dozens of chocolate chip cookies;L=number of dozens of lemon frosted; T= total charge

Answer 1

c= # of dozens chocolate chip cookies= $2.50/dozen

L= # of dozens of lemon frosted= $1.50/dozen

T= total charge

Multiply the number of dozens of chocolate chip cookies by the cost per dozen. Multiply the number of lemon frosted by the cost per dozen. Add those two together to equal the total cost.

T= ($2.50 * c) + ($1.50 * L)
T= $2.50c + $1.50L


ANSWER: T= $2.50c + $1.50L

Hope this helps! :)
