Question

Zachary places daisies and magnolias in a vase. If daisies cost x dollars, magnolias cost y dollars and a vase costs v dollars, mark all equations which represent the cost of 20 vases of 40 daisies and 80 magnolias.

Answer 1

`Total = 20v + 40x + 80y`

`Total = 20(v + 2x + 4y)`

Explanation:

The options were not given,en but the question can still be solved.

Given

`Daises = \$ x`

`Magnolias = \$ y`

`Vase = \$ v`

Required

Determine the cost of 20 vases, 40 daises and 80 magnolias

If 1 vase costs $v, then

`20\ vases = 20 * v`

`20\ vases = 20v`

If 1 daises costs $x, then

`40\ daises = 40 * x`

`40\ daises = 40x`

If 1 magnolias costs $y, then

`80\ magnolias = 80 * y`

`80\ magnolias = 80y`

`Total = 20v + 40x + 80y`

Another expression that represents the total is to factorize the expression.

`Total = 20(v + 2x + 4y)`
