Answer:

Total Cost, C=$(16S +56)

Explanation:

Chris buys 8 more Ninja Turtles than Star Wars action figures.

Cost of each Ninja Turtle = $7

Cost of each Star Wars = $9

Let number of Star Wars bought = S

As per question statement, number of Ninja Turtles bought = S+8

Cost of 'S' number of Star Wars = Number of Star Wars bought
* cost of each Star Wars

Total cost of Star Wars bought = S
* 9 or $9S

Similarly, Cost of 'S+8' number of Ninja Turtles = Number of Ninja Turtles bought
* cost of each Ninja Turtles

Total cost of Ninja Turtles bought = (S+8)
* 7 or $(7S +56)

Total Cost of the purchase = Total cost of Star Wars Bought + Total cost of Ninja Turtles bought

Total Cost of the purchase, C = 9S + (7S +56)


\Rightarrow C=\$(16S +56)
