Mrs Sim spent some money on 45 buns. She spent the same amount of money on 20 muffins. Each muffin cost $0.95 more than each bun. How much did she spent altogether?
m = b + .95
45b = 20(b+.95)
45b = 20b + 19.00
25b = 19.00
b = .76
m = 1.71
45 buns = 34.20
20 muffins = 34.20
total spent: 68.40
Thanks a lot Steve!
To find out how much Mrs. Sim spent altogether, we first need to figure out the cost of each bun. Let's assume the cost of each bun is x dollars.
Next, we know that each muffin costs $0.95 more than each bun. So the cost of each muffin can be expressed as x + $0.95.
Now, Mrs. Sim spent the same amount of money on 45 buns and 20 muffins. We can calculate the total amount spent on buns as 45 * x, and the total amount spent on muffins as 20 * (x + $0.95).
The total amount spent altogether is the sum of the amounts spent on buns and muffins. Therefore, the equation becomes:
Total amount spent = Amount spent on buns + Amount spent on muffins
Total amount spent = 45 * x + 20 * (x + $0.95)
Simplifying the equation:
Total amount spent = 45x + 20x + 20 * $0.95
Total amount spent = 65x + $19
So, Mrs. Sim spent a total of 65x + $19 dollars altogether.
