Math Problem Statement

A school needs to buy new notebook and desktop computers for its computer lab. The notebook computers cost $325 each, and the desktop computers cost $175 each. How many total computers would someone buy if they get 15 notebooks and 11 desktop computers? How many total computers would someone buy if they get nn notebooks and dd desktop computers?

Solution

To calculate the total number of computers in each case, we simply add the number of notebook computers and the number of desktop computers.

Case 1: 15 notebooks and 11 desktop computers

Total Computers=15+11=26\text{Total Computers} = 15 + 11 = 26

Answer for Case 1: 26 computers.

Case 2: nn notebooks and dd desktop computers

Total Computers=n+d\text{Total Computers} = n + d

Answer for Case 2: n+dn + d computers.
