Small = $1.10, Medium = $1.25, and Large = $1.50. what is algebraic expression that shows the total cost, in dollars, of both orders? Combine like terms to write an expression that is equivalent to your expression from the other question

Answer 1

Equation: 1.10+1.25m+1.50+1.25m=
2.50m+2.60

Answer 2

Answer: 2.60+ 2.50 m

Explanation:

Hi, the cost of Casey's family is equal to the price of 1 small drink (1.10) plus the price of a medium drink (1.25) multiplied by the number of medium drinks bought (m).

Same process for Anika's Family.

Casey's family cost: 1.10+ m 1.25

Anika's family cost :m1.25+ 1.50

Combining the expressions:

1.10+ m 1.25+m1.25+ 1.50

1.10+1.50+1.25m+1.25m

2.60+ 2.5 m

Total cost of both orders = 2.60+ 2.50 m
