A baker is calculating the charge for types of cookies.

What formula tells the cost, in dollars, if chocolate chip cookies are $1.00/dozen and lemon frosteds are $2.00/dozen? Let c = number of dozens of chocolate chip cookies; L = Number of dozens of lemon frosteds; T = total charge.

A) T = 3.00(L+c)
B) T = 1.00c + 2.00L
C) T = 100c + 200L
D) T = 2.00c + 1.00L

Question

A baker is calculating the charge for types of cookies.

What formula tells the cost, in dollars, if chocolate chip cookies are $1.00/dozen and lemon frosteds are $2.00/dozen? Let c = number of dozens of chocolate chip cookies; L = Number of dozens of lemon frosteds; T = total charge.

A) T = 3.00(L+c)
B) T = 1.00c + 2.00L
C) T = 100c + 200L
D) T = 2.00c + 1.00L

anonymous · Answer

B) T = 1.00c + 2.00L

This is because the c variable, which represents chocolate chip, is multiplied by 1.00 for every dozen sold. The L variable, which is the amount of lemon frosted sold, is multiplied by 2.00 for each dozen. Add the two together and you get T, the total.
