Question

Vrite and simplify an expression to find he total cost of x pencils , 1 poster board , and (x + 1) notebooks.

Answer 1

The expression to find the total cost of x pencils, 1 poster board, and (x + 1) notebooks will be:

`C=xp+b+nx+n`

Explanation:

Consider '
`x`' be the number of pencils which were bought

Consider '
`p`' denotes the cost of
`1` pencil

Consider '
`b`' denotes the cost of
`1` poster board

Consider '
`x+1`' be the number of notbooks which were bought

Consider '
`n`' denotes the cost of
`1` notebook

As we have to find the total cost. Let 'C' denotes the total cost

so the expression becomes

`C=xp+b+\left(x+1\right)n`

simplifying

`C=xp+b+nx+n`

Therefore, the expression to find the total cost of x pencils, 1 poster board, and (x + 1) notebooks will be:

`C=xp+b+nx+n`
