Question

A caterer for a party buys 75 cans of soda and 15 bags of chips. Write an expressionfor the total cost if soda costs s dollars per can and chips cost c dollars per bag.

Answer 1

Let s be the cost of soda in dollars per can.

Let c be the cost of chips in dollars per can.

If the caterer buys 75 cans of soda, then cost of 75 cans = 75s

The caterer also bought 15 bags of chips, this implies that cost of chips = 15c

Thereore, the total cost = 75s + 15c
