A set of glassware includes 5 tall glasses and 3 juice glasses. Use t to represent the cost of each tall glass and j to represent the cost of each juice glass. Write an expression that represent the total of cost of 4 glasses.
give me answer in a different way please steve
To write an expression that represents the total cost of 4 glasses, we need to multiply the cost of each type of glass by the number of glasses and then add them together.
Let's use t to represent the cost of each tall glass and j to represent the cost of each juice glass.
To calculate the total cost of 4 glasses, we'll need to include 2 tall glasses and 2 juice glasses.
The expression can be written as:
2t + 2j
To calculate the total cost of 4 glasses, we need to consider the number of tall glasses and juice glasses used. Let's use the variables t and j to represent the cost of each tall glass and juice glass, respectively.
Given that there are 5 tall glasses and 3 juice glasses, we can calculate the total cost as follows:
Total cost = (number of tall glasses * cost of each tall glass) + (number of juice glasses * cost of each juice glass)
In this case, since we want to find the total cost of 4 glasses, we need to consider the cost of 4 tall glasses or 4 juice glasses, or a combination of both.
So, the expression that represents the total cost of 4 glasses is:
Total cost = (4 * t) + (0 * j) + (0 * t) + (4 * j)
Simplifying this expression, we get:
Total cost = 4t + 0j + 0t + 4j
Further simplification can be done by combining like terms:
Total cost = 4t + 4j
c = tx+j(4-x)
where there are x tall glasses
