Full solution

Q. Calvin and Melvin are two of Santa's elves. The number of toys they build is given by 11c+8m 11 c+8 m where c c is the number of candy canes Calvin eats for breakfast and m m is the number of candy canes Melvin eats for breakfast.\newlineHow many toys do they build when Calvin eats 55 candy canes and Melvin eats 33 candy canes for breakfast?\newlinetoys
  1. Identify Values: Identify the given values for cc and mm.\newlineCalvin eats 55 candy canes for breakfast, so c=5c = 5.\newlineMelvin eats 33 candy canes for breakfast, so m=3m = 3.
  2. Plug In and Calculate: Plug in the values of cc and mm into the expression 11c+8m11c + 8m to calculate the number of toys built.11c+8m11c + 8mSubstitute cc with 55.Substitute mm with 33.11(5)+8(3)11(5) + 8(3)
  3. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to simplify the expression.\newline11(5)+8(3)=55+2411(5) + 8(3) = 55 + 24
  4. Add Results: Add the results of the multiplication to find the total number of toys built. 55+24=7955 + 24 = 79
