part A:write an expression that will represent Natalie total costs for this month.
part B:if she makes 4 bowls each time she goes to Pete's pottery place,what will her total cost be?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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
