Question

Gabe goes to the mall. He bought k model planes and spent $24 on books. Then he spent another $25 at another store.

How much did Gabe spend in all if he bought 3 model planes?

Answer 1

The cost of the model planes is not given, so we can't determine Gabe's total spending based on the number of model planes alone.

However, we know that Gabe spent $24 on books and $25 at another store, so his total spending on non-model plane items is $24 + $25 = $49.

To find out Gabe's total spending, we need to know the cost of each model plane. Then, assuming that each model plane costs the same amount, we can use the information to set up an equation.

Let's say the cost of one model plane is x dollars. Then:

• Gabe bought k model planes and spent kx dollars on model planes.

• Gabe spent $24 on books and $25 at another store, as we found earlier.

• Gabe bought 3 model planes and spent 3x dollars on model planes.

Putting it all together, we can write an equation:

kx + 24 + 25 + 3x = total spending

Simplifying, we get:

(k + 3)x + 49 = total spending

We can't calculate the total spending without knowing the value of k or x.

Answer 2

Amount = 49 + 14.99k
