Question

Members of the cooking club would like to learn how to make peach ice cream. There are 14 people in the club. Each member will need to buy 3 peaches and 1 pint of cream to make the ice cream. Peaches cost x cents each, and a pint of cream costs 46 cents. Write an expression that could be used to represent the total cost of ingredients for all 14 members of the club. Simplify the expression

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total members = 14

Each member:

Peaches = 3

Pint of cream = 1

Cost

Peaches = x cent

Pint of cream = 46 cent

46 cent = $0.46

Cost per member = 3(x cent) + 0.46

= 3x cent + 0.46

Total cost for all members = 14(3x cent + 0.46)

= 42x cent + 6.44
