Question

You are going discount shopping for some new sweaters, T-shirts, and pants. Sweaters (s) cost $5, T-shirts (t) cost $8, and pants (p) cost $2. What algebraic expression models the total cost of clothes that you buy?

Suppose you bought 24 sweaters, 6 T-shirts, and 17 pairs of pants. How much did you spend?

Answer 1

Answer:

24s + 6t + 17p= 202

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

24x + 6y + 17z = 202

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sweaters be x

T-shirt be y

Pant be z

The equation is 24x + 6y + 17z

Substituting with the cost of each,

24(5) + 6(8) + 17(2)

120 + 48 + 34 = 202
