If A represents the number of apples purchased at 15 cents each and B represents the number of bananas purchased at 10 cents each

Question

Which of the following represents the total value of the purchase

Answer 1

Well, I don't see the choices, but that's o.k.  I'll answer anyway.

This problem is intended to teach you about units.

 

Number * cents/number  = cents        (number cancels out)

 

The total value of the purchase is the value for apples plus the value for bananas.

           T                                             =       A * 15                   +            B*10
