Linda buys candy that costs $10 per pound. She will buy less than 10 pounds of candy. What are the possible amounts she will spend on candy?
Use c for the amount (in dollars) Linda will spend on candy.
The total amount Linda will spend on candy is given by c = 10 * x, where x is the number of pounds of candy she will buy.
Since she will buy less than 10 pounds of candy, the possible amounts she will spend on candy are:
- If she buys 1 pound of candy, c = 10 * 1 = $10
- If she buys 2 pounds of candy, c = 10 * 2 = $20
- If she buys 3 pounds of candy, c = 10 * 3 = $30
- If she buys 4 pounds of candy, c = 10 * 4 = $40
- If she buys 5 pounds of candy, c = 10 * 5 = $50
- If she buys 6 pounds of candy, c = 10 * 6 = $60
- If she buys 7 pounds of candy, c = 10 * 7 = $70
- If she buys 8 pounds of candy, c = 10 * 8 = $80
- If she buys 9 pounds of candy, c = 10 * 9 = $90
Therefore, the possible amounts she will spend on candy are $10, $20, $30, $40, $50, $60, $70, $80, $90.
