Question

Carl needs to calculate how much money he made selling snacks at the baseball games yesterday and today. Cotton candy costs $1.59 per bag, hot dogs cost $1.75, and popcorn costs $1.25. Carl sold 25 bags of cotton candy at yesterday's game.

Calculate how much Carl made yesterday on cotton candy and then write an expression showing the total amount of money he made on cotton candy during both games if he sold h number of bags today.

Answer 1

$1.59 x 25= 39.75 + t

Answer 2

$39.75 + t

(t is the amount he made today)

Explanation:

You multiply $1.59 · 25, then, you add today's money, but we don't know what that is, so we mark it as $39.75 + t
