Total Cost Calculations for Beverages

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the total cost of sodas bought by Calvin, using variables C for Coca-Colas and M for Mountain Dees. Each soda costs $2.25. The total cost T is calculated by multiplying the number of each type of soda by $2.25 and adding the results. The expression for the total cost can be written as T = 2.25C + 2.25M. Alternatively, the expression can be factored to T = 2.25(C + M).

What is the cost of each soda that Calvin buys?

• $1.50

• $2.25

• $3.00

• $2.00

If Calvin buys 5 Coca-Colas, how would you calculate the cost for these?

• 5 + 2.25

• 5 * 2.25

• 5 / 2.25

• 5 - 2.25

How would you express the total cost T of buying C Coca-Colas and M Mountain Dees?

• T = 2.25 * C + 2.25 * M

• T = 2.25 * (C + M)

• T = 2.25 + C + M

• T = C + M

What is an alternative way to express the total cost T?

• T = 2.25 * (C + M)

• T = C * M

• T = 2.25 + C + M

• T = C + M

Which of the following represents the expression for the total cost if the cost per soda is factored out?

• T = C * M

• T = 2.25 + C + M

• T = 2.25 * (C + M)

• T = C + M
