Question

You are buying plates and cups from a pottery store. Each plate costs $3.50 and each cup costs $5.00. Write an expression representing the total price of P plates and C cups. Use this equation to find the price of 10 plates and 5 cups.

Answer 1

$60

Explanation:

From the question P and C denote the prices of a plate and a cup respectively

Price of each plate =$3.50

Price of each cup=$5.00

The equation for the total price of plates and cups can be written as

$3.50P+$5.00C

This implies that, the price of 10plates and 5 cups

`=3.50(10)+5.00(5)`

`= 35.00+25.00`

`=60`
