At the State Fair you buy 4 combo meals for you and your three friends. Each meal comes with 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos. How many chicken tenders and fried Oreos do you buy all together? How could you set up and solve this problem using the Distributive Property? (3 points.

Answer 1

To solve this problem using the Distributive Property, you can first find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos in one combo meal, and then multiply that by the number of combo meals purchased.

In one combo meal, you get 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos. To find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos for all the combo meals, you can use the Distributive Property.

Let's say the number of combo meals purchased is represented by 'x'.

Total number of chicken tenders = 3 (number of chicken tenders per combo meal) * x (number of combo meals)
Total number of fried Oreos = 2 (number of fried Oreos per combo meal) * x (number of combo meals)

Using the Distributive Property, you can multiply the numbers inside the parentheses with the value outside the parentheses.

Total number of chicken tenders = 3x
Total number of fried Oreos = 2x

Therefore, the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos bought all together is 3x + 2x, which can be simplified as 5x.

Answer 2

make it shorter

Answer 3

Sure! To find the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos purchased at the State Fair, you can use the Distributive Property.

Each combo meal includes 3 chicken tenders and 2 fried Oreos.

So, the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos can be found by multiplying these quantities by the number of combo meals purchased.

Total = (3 + 2) * Number of combo meals

Simplifying this expression, the total number of chicken tenders and fried Oreos bought all together is 5 times the number of combo meals.

Answer 4

Part 1: At the State Fair it costs $2.75 for a corndog and $3.50 for a funnel cake. How much would it cost for you to order "c" corndogs and "f" funnel cakes? Show how to set this up as an algebraic expression.

Part 2: You and your three friends want to order 2 corndogs and 1 funnel cake each. Solve to find out how much it would cost all-together.

Part 3: Explain how you solved Part 2.

Answer 5

Part 1:
To find the cost of ordering "c" corndogs and "f" funnel cakes, you can set up the following algebraic expression:

Cost = ($2.75 * c) + ($3.50 * f)

Part 2:
To find the cost of ordering 2 corndogs and 1 funnel cake each for you and your three friends, you can substitute "c = 2" (corndogs) and "f = 1" (funnel cake) into the expression from part 1:

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

Therefore, it would cost $9.00 all together to order 2 corndogs and 1 funnel cake each for you and your three friends.

Part 3:
To solve part 2, I substituted the values of "c = 2" and "f = 1" into the algebraic expression from part 1 and then simplified the expression by performing the multiplication and addition. This allowed me to find the total cost, which was $9.00.
