Question

a. Write an expression to show the total amount of money Maggie spent.

b. If Maggie bought 4 CDs and 3 books, how much money did she spend?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

Maggie bought c CDs for $12 each, b books for $7 each, and a purse costing $24.

(a) Cost of c CDs = 12c

Cost of b books = 7b

Cost of p purse = 24p

Total amount = 12c+7b+24p

(b) Cost of 4 CDs = 12(4) = $48

Cost of 3 books = 7(3) = $21

Hence, this is the required solution.
