Question

Mario and Luigi want to purchase some extra controllers for their friends. Each controller costs $29.99. Use an algebraic expression to describe how much they will spend in total, before sales tax, based on purchasing the console, the number of games, and the number of extra controllers

Answer 1

C = 299x + 59.99y + 29.99z

Explanation:

An algebraic expression is an expression in which it involves the numbers like 1,2,3 also it includes the operations such as additions, subtraction, multiplication, etc

Fo mentioning an algebraic expression, we do have following components

x = number of consoles purchased

y = number of games purchased

z = number of controllers purchased

C = total cost

Also, the total cost would be equivalent to the sum of the price and then it multiplied with the numbers as stated above

So, the algebraic expression is

C = 299x + 59.99y + 29.99z
