Q. Eric owns and operates the Hot Ham food truck. The expression 3.25b+2h gives the cost, in dollars, of b burgers and h hot dogs. What is the cost, in dollars, of 4 burgers and 6 hot dogs?□
Identify Cost and Quantity: Identify the cost per item and the number of items to be purchased.Eric's food truck charges $3.25 for each burger b and $2 for each hot dog h. We need to calculate the total cost for 4 burgers and 6 hot dogs.
Calculate Burger Cost: Use the given expression to calculate the cost of the burgers.The expression for the cost of burgers is 3.25b, where b is the number of burgers. For 4 burgers, we substitute b with 4 and calculate:Cost of burgers = 3.25×4
Calculate Burger Total: Perform the calculation for the cost of burgers.Cost of burgers = 3.25×4=$(13.00)
Calculate Hot Dog Cost: Use the given expression to calculate the cost of the hot dogs.The expression for the cost of hot dogs is 2h, where h is the number of hot dogs. For 6 hot dogs, we substitute h with 6 and calculate:Cost of hot dogs = 2×6
Calculate Hot Dog Total: Perform the calculation for the cost of hot dogs.Cost of hot dogs = 2×6=$(12.00)
Calculate Total Cost: Add the cost of burgers and hot dogs to find the total cost.Total cost = Cost of burgers + Cost of hot dogsTotal cost = $13.00 + $12.00
Final Calculation: Perform the final calculation to find the total cost.Total cost = $13.00 + $12.00 = $25.00
