The pottery studio also charges you $2.99 per pound for the amount of clay used. Write an expression for the total cost of a person using c pounds of clay during a lesson. Use the expression to calculate the cost of a lesson where Sam uses 3.5 pounds of clay.

Answer 1

cost per day = 2.99(c)+20
sam's lessons cost $30.47 per day

Explanation:

2.99 (price of clay used per pound) * c (pounds of clay used) + 20 (cost of lesson)
2.99(c)+20
since sam uses 3.5 pounds of clay per lesson that's 2.99(3.5)+20, which is equal to 30.47
