A parent is planning to have their child’s birthday party at a skating rink. The deposit is $50. Each child will need to pay $3 to rent skates and $2 to rent a trainer if they want one. Write an expression that shows the total cost of the party using s
for skates rented and t
for trainers rented.(1 point)
Responses
2s+3t−50
2 s plus 3 t minus 50
2s+3t+50
2 s plus 3 t plus 50
3s+2t+50
3 s plus 2 t plus 50
3s+2t−50
3 s plus 2 t minus 50
its actually 3s+2t+50
Apologies for the mistake. You are correct. The correct expression that shows the total cost of the party is indeed 3s + 2t + 50. Thank you for pointing out the error.
The correct expression that shows the total cost of the party is:
2s + 3t + 50
Explanation:
The expression includes 2s to represent the cost of renting skates (each skate costs $3), 3t to represent the cost of renting trainers (each trainer costs $2), and 50 to represent the deposit. Therefore, adding all these costs together gives the total cost of the party.
