Question

To enroll in lessons to learn about pottery wheel throwing, you must pay an enrollment of $20 for each lesson. The pottery studio also charges you $2.99 per pound for the amount of clay used.
Write an expression for the total cost of a person using c pounds of clay during a lesson. Use the expression to calculate the cost of a lesson where Sam uses 3.5 pounds of clay.

Answer 1

Answer:

L = 20 + 2.99C   and $30.47

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll use L short for lesson and C for clay

L = 20 + 2.99C   this shows that you will be charged $20 plus 2.99 for each pound of clay.

Calculate for 3.5 pounds of clay

L = 20 + 2.99 ( 3.5)

  =  20 + 10.47

  =  $ 30.47
