Question

Kolo purchesed food for herslef and her friends. she bought 4 cheeseburgers for 2.25 each 3 french friues for 1.25 each and 4 drinks for 4.00 each. write and evaluate an expression to find how much the food costs

Answer 1

Well assuming that we denote cheeseburgers by cb. cb = 2.25 dollars so four cb would be for 9 $.

Similarly we denote french fries by ff. ff = 1.25 dollars so three ff would be for 3.75 $.

Similarly we denote drinks by d. d = 4 dollars so four d would be for 16.00 $.

So in total the expression would be 4*cb + 4*d + 3*ff which equates to 28.75$
