Dreamy Ice-cream Company sells a single-scoop sundae for $1.25. Each additional scoop costs $1.25. There is a fixed price for 0.50cents for extra topping on all sundaes. I am supposed to make a table to show the prices of the first 4 sizes of sundaes with extra toppings. Can anyone help with the table and pattern rule.
1 scoop = $1.25 + 0.50 = $1.75
2 scoops = $2.50 + 0.50 = $3.00
I'm sure you can finish this table in the same way.
So is the pattern rule going up by 1.25 on each... Does sound right.
Yes.
Of course! I can help you create the table and identify the pattern rule for the prices of the sundaes with extra toppings.
To create the table, we need to determine the prices for the first four sizes of sundaes with extra toppings. Let's start by listing the number of scoops from 1 to 4:
| Number of Scoops | Price |
|------------------|-------|
| 1 | $1.25|
| 2 | $2.50 |
| 3 | $3.75 |
| 4 | $5.00 |
Now, let's include the additional cost for the extra toppings, which is a fixed $0.50:
| Number of Scoops | Price for Extra Topping | Total Price |
|------------------|------------------------|-------------|
| 1 | $0.50 | $1.75 |
| 2 | $0.50 | $3.00 |
| 3 | $0.50 | $4.25 |
| 4 | $0.50 | $5.50 |
From the table, we can observe that for each additional scoop, the total price increases by $1.25. Additionally, the extra topping price remains constant at $0.50 for all sundaes.
Hence, the pattern rule for the prices of the sundaes with the extra toppings can be expressed as follows:
Total Price = (Number of Scoops * $1.25) + $0.50
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
