Question

Homer and bart plan to buy one computer for 499.00 strictly for gaming purposes. Games cost 49.99 each. define each variable and write an algebraic expression to describe how much they will spend before sales tax based on purchasing the computer and the number of games. If they purchase one computer and five games

Answer 1

499.00+49.99x the variable is how many games they get

Explanation:

Answer 2

`y=499+49.99x`

Explanation:

Cost of the computer = $499

Cost of 1 game = $49.99

Let us suppose the number of games purchased be x and total cost be y.

So, a basic equation becomes:

`y=499+49.99x`

If Homer and Bart purchase one computer and five games, this can be written in algebraic expression as;

y=
`499+5(49.99)`

= $748.95
