Answer 1

The expression for the Total Cost for Ordering n lunches is
`6.25+3.5n`.

Total Cost to deliver 5 lunches is $23.75.

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of each lunch delivery = $6.25

One time delivery fee = $3.50

Let number of lunches to be delivered be 'n'.

We need to find the expression for the cost of ordering n lunches.

Hence we can say that;

Total Cost for Ordering n lunches is equal to sum of One time delivery fee and Cost of each lunch delivery multiplied by number of lunches to be delivered.

Framing in equation form we get;

Total Cost for Ordering n lunches =
`6.25+3.5n`

Hence The expression for the Total Cost for Ordering n lunches is
`6.25+3.5n`.

Now Given:

Number of lunches to be delivered = 5

We need to find the Total Cost for delivering.

Substituting the value of n =5 in above expression we get;

Total Cost for delivering =
`6.25+3.5* 5 = 6.25 +17.5 = \$23.75`

Hence Total Cost to deliver 5 lunches is $23.75.
