Question

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

Answer 1

hint: total cost

Answer 2

ok steve, so do they mean total cost of one food item or the total cost of all food items??

Answer 3

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 <b>total</b> cost.

2c,3s,5d,1j

is just a list of costs, not a total.

So, how's that English class coming along? ...

Answer 4

that was pretty rude steve... when you said "so hows that english class coming along" i'm not stupid ;(

Answer 5

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?
