Question

Angeline bought s yards of satin fabric priced at $8.09 per yard, and c yards of cotton fabric priced at $3.79 per yard. What expression could you use to determine the total cost of the fabric? If she bought 5 yards of satin fabric and 8 yards of cotton fabric, how much did Angeline spend in all?

Answer 1

$70.77

Explanation:

Cost of 's' yards of satin fabric= 8.09*s = 8.09s

Cost of 'c' yard of cotton fabric = 3.79 * c = 3.79c

Total cost of fabric = 8.09s + 3.79c

s = 5 yards ; c = 8 yards

Plugin the value of s and c in expression,

8.09*5 + 3.79*8 = 40.45 + 30.32

= $ 70.77
