Tripod · Answer 1

Equation: 1.10+1.25m+1.50+1.25m=

2.50m+2.60

Patience Ferguson · Answer 2

Answer: 2.60 + 2.50 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the cost of Casey's family is equal to the price of 1 small drink (1.10) plus the price of a medium drink (1.25) multiplied by the number of medium drinks bought (m).

Same process for Anika's Family.

Casey's family cost: 1.10 + m 1.25

Anika's family cost : m1.25 + 1.50

Combining the expressions:

1.10 + m 1.25+m1.25 + 1.50

1.10+1.50+1.25m+1.25m

2.60 + 2.5 m

Total cost of both orders = 2.60 + 2.50 m
