Question

a small car cost 3$. a large car costs5 time as much as the small one.joe want to buy one of each what equation would he use to find the cost of the two cars

Answer 1

Data:

Small car: S=3$

Large car: L=5S

The cost (c) of one of each car is:

`c=S+L`

as L=5S:

`c=S+5S`
`c=6S`

As S=3$

`c=6(3)=18`

The, the equation to find the cost of the two cars​ is c=6S, where S is the cost of a small car. And the cost
