Amount paid to shaundra = 10B+5C

Karen Lucero · Answer 2

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

C: number of cans

B: number of bottles

We now write the expression that represents the total amount she receives:

0.10B + 0.05C

Answer:

The expression that represents the amount, in cents, that the center pays her is:

0.10B + 0.05C
