Question

f. funnel cakes show how to set this up as an algebraic expression you and your friends three friends want to order 2 corndogs and one funnel cake each solve to find out how much it will cost all together explain how you solve part 2

Answer 1

Part 1: Setting up the algebraic expression:
Let's assign variables to represent the quantities you want to order:
C = number of corn dogs
F = number of funnel cakes

Now, let's assign variables to represent the costs of each item:
CD = cost of corn dog ($2.75)
FC = cost of funnel cake ($3.50)

To find the total cost, we need to multiply the quantity of each item by its respective cost and then add the results. The algebraic expression for the total cost is:

Total Cost = (C * CD) + (F * FC)

Part 2: Solving for the total cost:
You and your three friends want to order 2 corn dogs (C = 2) and 1 funnel cake (F = 1).

Now, substitute the values into the algebraic expression:

Total Cost = (2 * $2.75) + (1 * $3.50)
= $5.50 + $3.50
= $9.00

So, it will cost a total of $9.00 for you and your friends to order 2 corn dogs and 1 funnel cake at the State Fair.
