Each swing that Susan builds requires $10 in hardware and $20 in wood. She uses the expression 10 + 20 to represent the total cost of building one swing. Which expression represents the total cost of building three swings? A. 10 + (3 • 20) B. 3 + (10 + 20) C. 3 • (10 + 20) D. 3 • 10 + 20

OpenStudy (sagewilson):

If susan were to build 3 swings she'd spend a total of $90 You remember P.E.M.D.A.S right, the parentheses go first, so you'd be adding 10 and 20, then you'd multiply that by 3.

OpenStudy (sagewilson):

If you were to choose A 10 + (3 • 20) you'd get 10 + 60 which would give you 70 not 90. B gives you 33, D gives you 50. The only one that would give you 90 is C.
