Question

Terry is an up-and-coming florist who specializes in weddings. He uses 5 roses, 3 daisies, and 4 bundles of green filler to make one bouquet. If r is the cost of a rose, d is the cost of a daisy, and f is the cost of a bundle of green filler, which expression represents the cost for making 75 bouquets?
75r +75d + 75f + 12

Answer 1

Your answer is not quite right. You must take in account the number of roses, daisies, and green filler in each bouquet.

 

For 75 bouquets, the cost of the roses will be 75(5r) dollars.

For 75 bouquets, the cost of the daisies will be 75(3d) dollars.

For 75 bouquets, the cost of the green filler will be 75(4f) dollars.

 

The total cost for 75 bouquets will be 75(5r) + 75(3d) + 75(4f) = 375r + 225d + 300f dollars.
