A store order flour that comes in 5-pounds bags and 25 - pounds bags let x represent the number of 5 pounds bags the store orders the number of 25 pounds bags of flour the store orders is 40 more than half the number of 5 - pounds bags which expression represent the amount of flour in bags the store order in pounds bags

For this case we have the following variable:

x = represent the number of 5 pounds bags the store orders.

We must write an expression that represents the following statement:

"the number of 25 pounds bags of flour the store orders is 40 more than half the number of 5 - pounds bags"

(1/2) x + 40

The ordered quantity is:

f (x) = x + (1/2) x + 40

Rewriting:

f (x) = (3/2) x + 40

Answer:

An expression that represents the amount of flour in bags of the store order in pounds bags is:

f (x) = (3/2) x + 40
