Write an equation in terms of m to represent the following information the total cost of 5 muffins and 6 cupcakes is $31.50

1 answer

Let's assume that the cost of a muffin is represented by the variable "m" (in dollars) and the cost of a cupcake is a constant value.

The cost of 5 muffins would be 5m.
The cost of 6 cupcakes would be 6c, where "c" represents the cost of a cupcake.

According to the given information, the total cost of 5 muffins and 6 cupcakes is $31.50. Therefore, we can write the equation:

5m + 6c = $31.50
