Answer 1

To find out how much Sarah will spend when she buys 6 balloons and 5 cupcakes, we can substitute \( b = 6 \) and \( c = 5 \) into the expression \( 0.75b + 2c \).

So, we calculate:

\[ 0.75(6) + 2(5) \]

Calculating each part:

1. \( 0.75 \times 6 = 4.50 \) (cost of balloons)
2. \( 2 \times 5 = 10.00 \) (cost of cupcakes)

Now, add these two amounts together:

\[ 4.50 + 10.00 = 14.50 \]

So, Sarah will spend $14.50.
