Question

Lauren goes to the exhibition. She purchases a table for $44 and 2 chairs. Each of the chairs costs the same price. Write an expression representing the total cost of her purchases with the cost of the chairs as c. Evaluate the total cost if one chair costs $23.

a
$44
b
$90
c
$190
d
$144

Answer 1

B: $90.

Explanation:

The expression for this problem can be represented as

Total Cost = $44 + 2c

Since one chair costs $23, the total cost would be:

Total Cost = $44 + 2($23)

2 × 23 = 46

Total Cost = $44 + $46 = $90

The total cost is $90, choice B.
