Question

Johnny takes an Uber to a toy store to buy some slime. Each container of slime costs $5 dollars. The Uber charges a total of $10 dollars. Write an expression that represents Johnny's total cost after buying s containers of slime, including the Uber ride. What is Johnny's total cost if he buys 17 containers of slime, including the Uber ride?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total cost will be $45 if he buys 17 containers of slime, including the Uber ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one container of slime = $5

Cost of Uber = $10

We need to write an expression that represents Johnny's total cost after buying s containers of slime, including the Uber ride.

Total cost = Cost of slime containers + Cost of Uber

Total Cost = 5s+10

So, the required equation is: $Total\: Cost = 5s+10$

Now, we need to find What is Johnny's total cost if he buys 17 containers of slime, including the Uber ride?

We have s= 17

So, the cost of buying 17 containers of slime and Uber ride will be:

$Total\: Cost = 5s+10\\Put\:s=17\\Total\: Cost = 5(7)+10\\Total\: Cost = 35+10\\Total\: Cost = 45$

So, Total cost will be $45 if he buys 17 containers of slime, including the Uber ride.
