Evaluate Algebraic Expressions Quick Check
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 + 2.5n 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)
$43.75
To find the cost of Mr. Imani's purchase, we need to substitute p = 10 and n = 30 into the given expression: 1.25(10) + 2.5(30).
Evaluating the expression gives us: 12.5 + 75.
Adding the two terms together, we get: 87.5.
Therefore, it will cost Mr. Imani $87.50 to purchase 10 packs of paper and 30 notebooks. However, the answer given in the quick check is $43.75, which is incorrect.
