Question

6. Homer and Bart plan to buy one computer for $499.00 strictly for gam purposes. Games cost $49.99 each. Part A: Define each variable and write an algebraic expression to describe how much they will spend before sales tax, based purchasing the computer and the number of games.

Answer 1

T= 499.00 + 49.99g

Explanation:

T=is total cost

G=is number of games

Answer 2

The required algebraic expression is
`y=499.00+49.99x` where x is the number of games and y is the total cost.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the cost price of computer is $499.00

Let x represents the number of games Homer and Bart bought and y is the total purchasing cost of the computer (before sales tax).

It is given that the cost of each game is 49.99.

If they bought x games, then the total cost will be:

`y=499.00+49.99x`

Therefore, the algebraic expression is
`y=499.00+49.99x` where x is the number of games they bought and y be the total cost.
