Rhett put up twelve posters in his neighborhood and handed out fliers at a local grocery store each with a photo of his lost puppy. Rhett paid $2 per poster and $0.20 per flier to print.
If x represents the number of fliers he handed out at the grocery store, which of the following equations can be used to find how much it cost Rhett to search for his lost puppy?
A.
y = 0.20x + 2
B.
y = 0.20x + 24
C.
y = 2x + 0.20
D.
y = 24x + 0.20
The cost of the posters is $2 each, and Rhett put up twelve posters, so the cost of the posters is 12 * $2 = $<<12*2=24>>24.
The cost of the fliers is $0.20 each, and Rhett handed out x fliers, so the cost of the fliers is x * $0.20 = $0.20x.
Therefore, the total cost Rhett spent on his search is $24 + $0.20x.
The equation that represents this is y = 0.20x + 24.
So, the correct answer is B. y = 0.20x + 24. Answer: \boxed{B}.
