Answer:

C. $528

Explanation:

We have been given that a coffee shop spends $408 for an order of 17 cases of paper cups.

Let us find cost of 1 case of paper cups by dividing the total cost (408) by number of cases of paper cups (17).


\text{Cost of each case of paper cups}=(408)/(17)


\text{Cost of each case of paper cups}=24

Therefore, cost of each case of paper cups in $24.

If we add 5 more cases of paper cups number of total cases of paper cups will be 17+5=22.

Now let us find cost of 22 cases of paper cups by multiplying cost of 1 case of paper cups by 22.


\text{The total cost}=22* 24


\text{The total cost}=528

Therefore, the cost of 22 cases of paper cups will be $528 and option C is the correct choice.

Answer:

Option C is correct

$528 will the total cost spends by coffee shop

Explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 7 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

As per the statement:

A coffee shop spends $408 for an order of 17 cases of paper cups.

Unit rate per cases =
(408)/(17) =\$24

Now, if If the coffee shop adds 5 more cases of paper cups to the order

then,

total number of cases = 17 +5 = 22 cases

To find how much total cost coffee shop spends.

Total cost = unit rate
* total number of cases

=
24 * 22 = \$528

Therefore, total costs coffee shop spends = $528
