Question 143436: WIll someone please help me with this word problem? I do not understand these AT ALL???? Please and thank you all for your help. It is much appreciated.
In your industrial oven, you bake two baking sheets with 12 scones each, two baking sheets with 20 cookies each, and one baking sheet with 2 scones and 10 cookies.
Write an expression that illustrates the total cost of all baked goods in the scenario above using the variable s to represent the cost of scones and the variable c to represent the cost of cookies. Simplify your expression by combining like terms.
Suppose you have decided to price the scones at $2.28 each and the cookies at $1.19 each. How much total revenue would result from selling all the scones and cookies baked in the oven at one time?
Answer by solver91311(24713)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The variable s is supposed to represent the cost to make 1 scone, but you are making 12 + 12 + 2 = 26 scones. So your cost to make scones is 26s. Likewise your cost to make cookies is 50c (20 + 20 + 10 = 50). That means your total cost C(s,c)=26s + 50c.
The second part of the problem is just arithmetic: $2.28 times 26 plus $1.19 times 50, presuming, as the problem states, that you sell all of your inventory.
