Question

What formula tells the cost, in dollars, if

chocolate chip cookies are $1.50/dozen and
lemon frosteds are $ 1.00/dozen? Let c =
number of dozens of chocolate chip cookies; L=
number of dozens of lemon frosteds; T = total
charge.

Answer 1

T = $1.50C + $1.00L

Explanation:

Chocolate chip cookies - $1.50/dozen

C: # of dozens of chocolate chip cookies

$1.50C

Lemon Frosteds - $1.00/dozen

L: # of dozens of lemon frosteds
