I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "ight". Can you please clarify or provide more information?
A symbol, usually a letter, that represents one or more values of a quantity that changes
Ah, I see. In mathematics, a symbol like a letter that represents one or more values of a quantity that changes is commonly referred to as a variable. Variables are often used to represent unknowns or changing quantities in equations, formulas, and mathematical expressions.
Mario and Luigi plan to buy a Nintendo Switch for $299.00. Nintendo Switch games cost $59.99 each. They plan to purchase one console. Use an algebraic expression to describe how much they will spend, before sales tax, based on purchasing the console and the number of games
Let's represent the number of games they plan on buying as 'g'.
The cost of the Nintendo Switch console is $299.00.
The cost of each game is $59.99.
To calculate the total amount they will spend, we can use the algebraic expression:
Total Cost = Cost of Console + (Number of Games * Cost per Game)
Total Cost = $299.00 + (g * $59.99)
This expression represents their total expenditure, before any sales tax, based on purchasing the console and 'g' number of games.
If they purchase one console and three games, how much will they spend before sales tax?
If they purchase one console and three games, we can substitute 'g' with 3 in the expression:
Total Cost = $299.00 + (3 * $59.99)
Calculating the expression:
Total Cost = $299.00 + ($179.97)
Total Cost = $478.97
So, they will spend $478.97 before sales tax if they purchase one console and three games.
Mario and Luigi want to purchase some extra controllers for their friends. Each controller costs $29.99. Use an algebraic expression to describe how much they will spend in total, before sales tax, based on purchasing the console, the number of games, and the number of extra controllers.
Let's use the following variables to represent the quantities:
- 'c' represents the cost of the console ($299.00)
- 'g' represents the cost of each game ($59.99)
- 'n' represents the number of games
- 'x' represents the cost of each extra controller ($29.99)
- 'e' represents the number of extra controllers
To calculate the total amount they will spend, we can use the algebraic expression:
Total Cost = Cost of Console + (Number of Games * Cost per Game) + (Number of Extra Controllers * Cost per Controller)
Total Cost = c + (g * n) + (x * e)
Therefore, the total expenditure, before any sales tax, based on purchasing the console, the number of games, and the number of extra controllers can be described using the algebraic expression Total Cost = c + (g * n) + (x * e).
