Question

Sara bought b bags of ice that cost $0.99 each. How do you write an expression that represents the total cost of the bags of ice?

Answer 1

`C = $0.99 xx b`

Explanation:

Let's have the total cost of the bags of ice Sara bought be represented by `C`.

We can then write:

`C = $0.99 xx b`

Where $0.99 is the cost of a single bag of ice

And `b` is the total number of bags of ice Sara bought.
