Question

Mr. Firewalks took his family out to eat. They ordered 3 meals at 8.99 each, 2 sodas at 1.50 each and a glass of tea for 1.25. Write an expression yo find the total amount the Firewalks spent on dinner before taxes and tip. Then evaluate the xpression

Answer 1

# meals = m
# sodas = s
# glasses of tea = t
Total Cost = C

C = 8.99m + 1.50s + 1.25t

m = 3, s = 2, and t = 1

C = 8.99(3) + 1.50(2) + 1.25(1)
C = 26.97 + 3.00 + 1.25
C = 31.22

Hope this helps! :)
