Question

Fitz and 3 friends are at the amusement park. Each person buys a pretzel for $4, cotton candy for $3, and a drink for $1. Write an expression for the total and find the total cost.

Answer 1

4x+3x+1x=t, where x represents the number of people, and t represents the total cost.

So to solve it, it says Fitz and 3 friends so that’s four people, you’d substitute x for 4.


I hope this helps!
