At the market, a pear costs b cents and an apple costs 7 cents
less than a pear. Randy buys 4 pears and an apple. How much
does Randy pay in terms of b?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Randy has to pay [tex]\mathbf{5b-7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of pear = b

Cost of apple =b-7

Randy buys pears = 4

Apple = 1

We need to find cost in terms of b

So, the equation will be:

[tex]4b+1(b-7)\\4b+b-7\\5b-7[/tex]

So, Randy has to pay [tex]\mathbf{5b-7}[/tex]
