Math Problem Statement

A school needs to buy new notebook and desktop computers for its computer lab. The notebook computers cost $150 each, and the desktop computers cost $200 each. How much would it cost to buy 20 notebooks and 11 desktop computers? How much would it cost to buy nn notebooks and dd desktop computers? Answer Attempt 2 out of 2

Total cost, 20 notebooks and 11 desktop computers:

Total cost, nn notebooks and dd desktop computers:

Solution

Let's calculate the costs step by step.

1. Cost for 20 notebooks and 11 desktop computers:

  • Cost of 20 notebooks:
    20×150=300020 \times 150 = 3000 dollars

  • Cost of 11 desktop computers:
    11×200=220011 \times 200 = 2200 dollars

  • Total cost:
    3000+2200=52003000 + 2200 = 5200 dollars

So, the total cost to buy 20 notebooks and 11 desktop computers is $5200.

2. Cost for nn notebooks and dd desktop computers:

  • Cost of nn notebooks:
    150×n150 \times n dollars

  • Cost of dd desktop computers:
    200×d200 \times d dollars

  • Total cost:
    150n+200d150n + 200d dollars

So, the total cost to buy nn notebooks and dd desktop computers is 150n+200d150n + 200d dollars.
