Question

Mrs. Harper-Hudson plans to paint baskets for Art Club. The paint costs $14.50 and each basket cost $7.25. Write an equation for the total cost of the number of baskets made. Determine the cost of four baskets. (Indicate the units)

Answer 1

14.50+7.25x = total

Explanation:

or, 14.50+7.25b

b = # of baskets

therefore, 14.50+7.25(4) = 43.5

because 7.25 * 4 =29, so 14.50+29 = 43.5
