Question

Mia is a songwriter who collects royalties on her songs whenever they are played in a commercial or a movie. Mia will earn $50 every time one of her songs is played in a commercial and she will earn $120 every time one of her songs is played in a movie. How much would Mia earn if his songs were played in 5 commercials and 3 movies? How much would Mia earn if his songs were played in cc commercials and mm movies?

Answer 1

$610

Explanation:

Ok so I would multiply $50 with 5 because it costs $50 for one commercial and there are 5 of them. You get $250 from it.

Next you multiply $120 and 3 because it costs $120 for 3 movies. You get $360.

Now you add and you get your answer which is $610.

Answer 2

50c + 120m represents Mia's earnings with c commercials and m movies

Mia would earn $610 with 5 commercials and 3 movies

Explanation:

First, create an expression that represents her earnings with c commercials and m movies:

50c + 120m will represent her earnings with c commercials and m movies

Now, find her earnings with 5 commercials and 3 movies:

50c + 120m

50(5) + 120(3)

= 250 + 360

= 610

So, Mia would earn $610
