Sabra joins a cooking club for $8.50 and pays $6.25 each month. She also joins a movie club for $12 and pays $3.75 each month. Write an expression that represents the total amount of money Sabra spends on both clubs after m months. Then enter the simplified expression in the boxes.

Respuesta :

Answer: The simplified express is 10m + 20.5 where m represents the total number of months.

To start we can write the following two expressions for her expenses.
8.5 + 62.5m   and     12 + 3.75m

Then, adding the two expressions together will give us a combined expression of:  10m + 20.5

Total amount of money Sabra spends on both clubs = 20.50 + 10m

Amount paid to join the cooking club = $8.50

Monthly payment at the cooking club = $6.25

Payment for m months at the cooking club = 6.25m

Total money paid at the cooking club = 8.50 + 6.25m

Amount paid to join the movie club = $12

Monthly payment at the movie club = $3.75

Payment for m months at the movie club = 3.75m

Total money paid at the movie club = 12 + 3.75m

Total amount of money Sabra spends on both clubs = Total money paid at the cooking club + Total money paid at the movie club

Total amount of money Sabra spends on both clubs = 8.50 + 6.25m + 12 + 3.75m

Total amount of money Sabra spends on both clubs = 20.50 + 10m
