At the State Fair it cost two dollars and 75 cents for corn dog and $3.50 for funnel cake how much would it cost for you to order C corn dogs and
f. funnel cakes show how to set this up as an algebraic expression you and your friends three friends want to order 2 corndogs and one funnel cake each solve to find out how much it will cost all together explain how you solve part 2
Part 1: Setting up the algebraic expression:
Let's assign variables to represent the quantities you want to order:
C = number of corn dogs
F = number of funnel cakes
Now, let's assign variables to represent the costs of each item:
CD = cost of corn dog ($2.75)
FC = cost of funnel cake ($3.50)
To find the total cost, we need to multiply the quantity of each item by its respective cost and then add the results. The algebraic expression for the total cost is:
Total Cost = (C * CD) + (F * FC)
Part 2: Solving for the total cost:
You and your three friends want to order 2 corn dogs (C = 2) and 1 funnel cake (F = 1).
Now, substitute the values into the algebraic expression:
Total Cost = (2 * $2.75) + (1 * $3.50)
= $5.50 + $3.50
= $9.00
So, it will cost a total of $9.00 for you and your friends to order 2 corn dogs and 1 funnel cake at the State Fair.
To set up this as an algebraic expression, you can use the variables C and F to represent the number of corn dogs and funnel cakes, respectively. The cost of a corn dog is $2.75, so the cost of C corn dogs would be 2.75 * C or 2.75C. Similarly, the cost of a funnel cake is $3.50, so the cost of F funnel cakes would be 3.50 * F or 3.50F.
To find out how much it would cost to order 2 corn dogs and 1 funnel cake each, we will substitute C = 2 and F = 1 into the expressions we just established.
For the corn dogs: 2.75 * 2 = 5.50.
For the funnel cake: 3.50 * 1 = 3.50.
Now we can find out the total cost by adding the cost of corn dogs and the cost of the funnel cake together: 5.50 + 3.50 = 9.00.
Therefore, it would cost a total of $9.00 for you and your three friends to order 2 corn dogs and 1 funnel cake each.
To set up the algebraic expression for the cost of ordering C corn dogs and F funnel cakes, we need to multiply the cost of each item by the respective number of items ordered.
The cost of one corn dog is $2.75, so the total cost of C corn dogs would be 2.75C.
The cost of one funnel cake is $3.50, so the total cost of F funnel cakes would be 3.50F.
To find out how much it will cost to order 2 corn dogs and one funnel cake each for four friends, we need to substitute C = 2 and F = 1 into the algebraic expression.
Cost of corn dogs = 2.75 * 2 = $<<2.75*2=5.50>>5.50
Cost of funnel cakes = 3.50 * 1 = $<<3.50*1=3.50>>3.50
To find the total cost, we add the cost of corn dogs and funnel cakes:
Total cost = Cost of corn dogs + Cost of funnel cakes = 5.50 + 3.50 = $<<5.50+3.50=9.00>>9.00
Therefore, it will cost a total of $9.00 for you and your three friends to order 2 corn dogs and one funnel cake each.
