Each student bought a candy and a popcorn. Write 2
equivalent expressions to represent the total spent at
the basketball game.

Answer 1

See below. (C*a) + (P*b) = M

Explanation:

amount of students = 45

amount of candy per student = 1

amount of popcorn per student = 1

Let "S" be the total amount of students

Let "C" be the total amount of candy

Let "P" be the total amount of popcorn

Let "T" be the total number of snacks

Let "a" be the price per candy

Let "b" be the price per popcorn

Let "M" be the total amount of money spent at the game

The price of the candy is unknown.

The price of the popcorn is unknown.

The total amount of money spent at the game is unknown.

(C*a) + (P*b) = M
