Question

4. (A.20) Natasha and her friends go out for ice cream. They decide to create their own ice cream, which costs $1.60 plus 8 cents per topping. If x represents the number of toppings on the ice cream, then which'equation describes y, the total cost for the ice cream?A. y = 0.08 + 1.60)x B. y = .08 + 1.60x C. y = 1.60 +.08x D. y = 8x + 1.60

Answer 1

C. y = 1.60 +.08x

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the ice cream will be equal to the fixed cost of $1.60 plus the cost that depends on the number of toppings. So, if Natasha chooses x number of topping, the total cost of the toppings will be 8 cents times x or $0.08x

So, the total cost for the ice cream is represented by the equation:

y = 1.60 +.08x
