Trying to help daughter with homework and it has been too many years since actually doing this type work.
Solve.
You are buying gifts for 10 people. You decide to buy each person either a CD or DVD.
A CD costs $12 and a DVD costs $20.
a. Let c = the number of CD's you decide to buy. What is an expression in terms of c for the number of DVDs you buy.
b. What is an expression in terms of c for the cost of the CD's? For the cost of DVD's?
c. Write and simplify an expression in terms of c for the total cost of all the gifts you buy.
my work is as follows
for a. I came up with an expression of c = 10 - x
for b. I am guessing cost of CD's = c 12 "c times twelve" and cost of DVD's = x 20 "x times 20"
for c. I am clueless....
anyone that can help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
