Answer:

The required expression that will represent Natalie total costs for this month is
x=5(9+3b).

Her total cost be $105.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Part (A)

It costs $9 to go to Pete's pottery place to make your own bowls for $3 per bowl.

Let x is the total monthly cost and "b" is the number of bowls she made.

So, the total cost for one day is
9+3b

She decided to make 5 days this month so she can sell them at a crafts fair.

Thus the Natalie total costs for this month is:


x=5(9+3b)

Thus, the required expression that will represent Natalie total costs for this month is
x=5(9+3b).

Part (B)

Now, we need to calculate her total cost if she makes 4 bowls each time.

Substitute b=4 in the
x=5(9+3b)


x=5(9+3(4))


x=5(9+12)


x=5(21)


x=105

Hence, her total cost be $105.

Part A: The cost of making b bowls in 1 day is C = 9 + 3b
The cost of making b bowls for 5 days is C = 5(9 + 3b)

Part B: The cost of making 4 bowls for 5 days is 5(9 + 3(4)) = 5(9 + 12) = 5(21) = $105
