Mr. Imani wants to purchase paper and notebooks for his classroom. At Dollar Discount he can buy packs of paper, p, for $1.25 each and notebooks, n, for $2.50 each. This is modeled by 1.25p + 2.50n. Evaluate for p = 10 and n=30 to find how much it will cost Mr. Imani to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks. (1 point)
By substituting p = 10 and n = 30 into the equation, we can evaluate the expression:
1.25p + 2.50n = 1.25(10) + 2.50(30)
= 12.50 + 75
= 87.50
Therefore, it will cost Mr. Imani $87.50 to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks.
To find how much it will cost Mr. Imani to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks, we need to substitute the values of p and n into the expression 1.25p + 2.50n.
Given:
p = 10
n = 30
Substituting these values into the expression, we get:
1.25(10) + 2.50(30)
Now we can simplify the expression:
= 12.50 + 75
Adding the values together, we get the final answer:
= 87.50
Therefore, it will cost Mr. Imani $87.50 to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks.
To find the cost for Mr. Imani to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks, we substitute the values of p = 10 and n = 30 into the equation 1.25p + 2.50n:
1.25(10) + 2.50(30)
First, let's multiply:
12.50 + 75.00
Next, let's add:
87.50
Therefore, it will cost Mr. Imani $87.50 to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks.
