Question

write an algebraic expression that represent the purchase. Baseball= $7, Sweat socks = $6, Soccer ball = $30. Mr. Mishra bought x number of soccer balls and 5 baseballs. Write an expression for the cost of Mr. Mishra's purchase.

Answer 1

`\text{Total cost=30x+35}`

Step by step explanation:

The total cost of a purchase is represented by:

`\text{ cost of the unit}\cdot\text{ number purchased=total cost}`

Then, since Mr. Mishra bought:

x number of soccer balls and each soccer ball is $30.

5 baseballs and each baseball is $7

Then, the algebraic expression of the purchase is given by:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Total cost=30x+7}\cdot5 \\ \text{Total cost=30x+35} \end{gathered}`
