Question

Ms. Mills is ordering new science equipment for her classroom. She needs 6 packs of graduated cylinders and 12 packs of test tubes. Each pack of graduated cylinders costs g dollars plus a $2 shipping fee. Each pack of test tubes costs t dollars plus a $3 shipping fee. Pick all the expressions that represent how much money Ms. Mills will spend on science equipment.

Answer 1

Graduated cylinders: C = 6(g +2) and Test tubes: C = 12(t +3)

Explanation:

6 packs graduated.

12 packs test tubes.

Equation for graduated cylinders:

C = (g+ 2)x

x = amount of packs = 6

Equation for test tubes:

C = (t +3)x

x = amount of packs = 12
