Question

Your little sister has made up a card game where different types of cards are worth different points. face cards are worth 12 points, cards with red numbers are worth 5 points, and cards with black numbers are worth 9 points. let f be the number of face cards in your hand, r be the number of cards with red numbers in your hand, and b be the number of cards with black numbers in your hand. what algebraic expression models the total number of points that you have in your hand? suppose you have 3 face cards, 6 cards with red numbers, and 8 cards with black numbers. how many points do you have? (1 point)

Answer 1

Total points = 12*f + 5*r + 9*b

Total points for given values of f,r,b = 12*3 + 5*6 + 9*8= 138
