To determine 4 possible combinations where the total cost is $14.80, we can use a technique called generating all possible combinations or trial and error method.
Start by listing all the available handmade chocolates with their respective prices:
Fudge: $0.60
Nut Clusters: $0.75
Truffles: $0.80
Now, we need to find the combinations that add up to $14.80. We can use a systematic approach to generate all possible combinations. Below are four possible combinations that fulfill the criteria:
Combination 1:
- Fudge x 24 ($0.60 x 24 = $14.40)
- Truffles x 1 ($0.80 x 1 = $0.80)
Total cost: $14.40 + $0.80 = $14.80
Combination 2:
- Fudge x 15 ($0.60 x 15 = $9.00)
- Nut Clusters x 8 ($0.75 x 8 = $6.00)
Total cost: $9.00 + $6.00 = $15.00
Combination 3:
- Fudge x 10 ($0.60 x 10 = $6.00)
- Nut Clusters x 10 ($0.75 x 10 = $7.50)
Total cost: $6.00 + $7.50 = $13.50
Combination 4:
- Fudge x 5 ($0.60 x 5 = $3.00)
- Nut Clusters x 10 ($0.75 x 10 = $7.50)
- Truffles x 2 ($0.80 x 2 = $1.60)
Total cost: $3.00 + $7.50 + $1.60 = $12.10
Please note that these are just four possible combinations out of many. You can try different combinations by adjusting the quantities of each handmade chocolate until you reach the desired total cost of $14.80.
