Terry is an up-and-coming florist who specializes in weddings. He uses 5 roses, 3 daisies, and 4 bundles of green filler to make one bouquet. If r is the cost of a rose, d is the cost of a daisy, and f is the cost of a bundle of green filler, which expression represents the cost for making 75 bouquets?

75r +75d + 75f + 12
(5r + 3d + 4f) + 75
75(5r) + 75(3d) + 75(4f)
75(5r + 3d + 4f)

Answer:

It would be the last one 75(5r+3d+4f)

Explanation:

This is because Terry wants to make 75 bouquets so you want to multiple everything by 75.

Answer:

option (4) is correct. 75( 5r + 3d + 4f ) expression represents the cost for making 75 bouquets.

Explanation:

Given: r is the cost of a rose, d is the cost of a daisy, and f is the cost of a bundle of green filler.

Terry uses 5 roses, 3 daisies, and 4 bundles of green filler to make one bouquet.

Thus, cost of one bouquet = cost of each flower used × number of flower used.

Total cost of one bouquet= 5r+3d+4f

Thus, cost for making 75 bouquets = 75 × cost of one bouquet

= 75( 5r + 3d + 4f )

Thus, option (4) is correct. 75( 5r + 3d + 4f ) is the correct expression to represents the cost for making 75 bouquets
