the french club is hosting a breakfast each monday morning in the cafeteria. The breakfast menu is shown in the table.
crepes-2 dollars
croissants-3 dollars
danish- 5 dollars
juice- 1 dollar
write an algebraic expression that can be used to find a customer's total cost given that, c=crepes, s=croissants, d=danish, j=juice
my question is, do i put 2c,3s,5d,1j or do i put my answer as 2c+3s+5d+1j with everything added up altogether? Im confused. please help thanks
hint: total cost
ok steve, so do they mean total cost of one food item or the total cost of all food items??
if it's just one item, I wouldn't call it a total cost.
If the customer orders some number of each item, just add up all the item costs to get the total cost.
2c,3s,5d,1j
is just a list of costs, not a total.
So, how's that English class coming along? ...
that was pretty rude steve... when you said "so hows that english class coming along" i'm not stupid ;(
I don't think that Steve was rude at all.
Do you see five differences between what Steve originally said and your quotatio of it?

To calculate a customer's total cost, you need to add up the individual costs of each item they purchase. In this case, you have stated that crepes cost 2 dollars, croissants cost 3 dollars, danish cost 5 dollars, and juice costs 1 dollar.
To represent the total cost using algebraic expressions, you need to multiply the cost of each item by the quantity purchased and then sum up the results.
So, the algebraic expression for a customer's total cost would be:
Total cost = 2c + 3s + 5d + 1j
In this expression, 2c represents the cost of crepes multiplied by the quantity purchased (c), 3s represents the cost of croissants multiplied by the quantity purchased (s), 5d represents the cost of danish multiplied by the quantity purchased (d), and 1j represents the cost of juice multiplied by the quantity purchased (j).
By adding up all these individual costs (2c + 3s + 5d + 1j), you can determine the total cost for a customer based on the quantities of each item they purchase.
