You and four friends plan a surprise party. Each of you contributes the same amount of money m for food.

1.) Write an algebraic expression for the total amount of money contributed for food.
2.) Evaluate your expression for m = $5.25.

Respuesta :

m denotes how much money each person contributes. 

Let n be the number of friends. 

Let 1 denote including yourself

Let T denote the total amount of money. 

T = m(n+1) 

If you have 4 friends, 

T = m(4+1) 
T = ($5.25)(5) 
T = $26.25 

Then they've spent $26.25 altogether (Includes yourself contributing)

Answer:

26.25

Step-by-step explanation:

5*5.25= 26.25

Hope this helps!
