Answer:

Use all the given information:

Price of a slice in $ - x

Number of slices- 3

Total cost of slices- 3x

Price of chopped cheese in $- 2+x

Number of chopped cheeses- 4

Total cost of chopped cheeses- 8+4x

Total cost- 7x+8

Explanation:

We are told that the price of a slice is x and that Dashaun bought 3 slices.

So to find the total amount paid for slices, multiply the price by the number of slices:


3*x=3x

We are told that the price of chopped cheese is $2 more than a slice. Use y as the cost for chopped cheese:


y=2+x

Dashaun bought 4 chopped cheeses.

To find the total cost of chopped cheeses bought, multiply the cost per cheese by the amount of cheese purchased:


4y

Insert the value of y:


4(2+x)

Use the distributive property:


8+4x

This is the total cost for the chopped cheeses.

To find the total of lunch, add the prices for the slices and cheeses together:


T=3x+8+4x\\\\T=7x+8

The total cost for lunch is 7x+8

:Done
