Question

Your going shopping for some sweaters, t-shirts and pants. Sweaters (s) cost $22 , t-shirts (t) cost $ 12, and pants (p) cost $24. What algebraic expression models the total cost of clothes that you buy?

Answer 1

The algebraic expression determining the total cost of the clothes is
`C= 22+12+24`.

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of Sweaters (s) = $22

Cost of t-shirt (t) = $12

Cost of pants (p) = $24

We need to write the algebraic expression determining the total cost of the clothes.

Solution:

Let the total Cost of Clothes be denoted by 'C'.

So we can say that;

the total Cost of Clothes bought is equal to sum of Cost of Sweaters,Cost of t-shirt and Cost of pants.

framing in expression form we get;

`C= 22+12+24`

Hence The algebraic expression determining the total cost of the clothes is
`C= 22+12+24`.
