Question

a baker is calculating the charge for two types of cookies. what formula tells the cost, in dollars, if chocolate chip cookies are $2.00/dozen and lemon frosteds are $1.50/dozen? let c=number of dozens of chocolate chip cookies; l=number of dozens of lemon frosteds; t =total charge. A. T=3.50(L+c) B. T=200c+150L C. T=2.00c+1.50L D. T=1.50c+2.00L

Answer 1

Option C is correct

`T= 2.00c+1.50l`

Explanation:

Given the statement:

A baker is calculating the charge for two types of cookies.

Here,

c =the number of dozens of chocolate chip cookies,

l=number of dozens of lemon frosteds and

T =total charge in dollars.

If chocolate chip cookies are $2.00/dozen

then;

Cost of chocolate chip cookies in c dozen = $ 2c

It is also given that:

lemon frosted are $1.50/dozen

then;

Cost of lemon frosted in l dozen = $ 1.50 l

Then total charge(T) in dollars for this problem is given by:

`T= 2.00c+1.50l`

Therefore, the formula tells the cost, in dollars is,

`T= 2.00c+1.50l`

Answer 2

If you would like to find the formula that tells the cost in dollars, you can calculate this using the following steps:

c ... number of dozens of chocolate chip cookies
l ... number of dozens of lemon frosteds
t ... total charge
t = c * $2.00 + l * $1.50
t = 2.00 * c + 1.50 * l

The correct result would be C. T=2.00c+1.50L.
