 Mehreen purchased 4 bananas for *c* cents each and 1 apple for *d* dollars. Write an expression to represent the total cost of Mehreen's purchase.

(4c)(d)(4𝑐)(𝑑)

4cd4𝑐𝑑

4c–d4𝑐–𝑑

4c+1d


To represent the total cost of Mehreen's purchase, we need to account for both the cost of the bananas and the apple.

- Mehreen purchased 4 bananas, each costing \( c \) cents.
- Mehreen purchased 1 apple costing \( d \) dollars.

First, let's convert the cost of the apple into cents to make the units consistent. Since 1 dollar is equal to 100 cents, the cost of the apple in cents is \( 100d \) cents.

The total cost of the 4 bananas in cents is:
\[ 4c \]

The total cost of the apple in cents is:
\[ 100d \]

To find the total cost, we sum these two amounts:
\[ 4c + 100d \]

Therefore, the correct expression representing the total cost of Mehreen's purchase is:
\[ 4c + 100d \]

However, among the provided options, none correctly include the conversion of dollars to cents. If we assume the context provided didn't include such conversion, the next best option without conversion would be:

\[ 4c + d \]

2. If each banana costs \( x \) cents and Mehreen buys \( n \) bananas, write the expression for the total cost in cents.
3. If Mehreen purchased \( p \) apples at \( q \) dollars each and each apple is converted to cents, write the expression for the total cost.
4. If Mehreen purchased 5 oranges at \( r \) dollars each and 2 bananas at \( s \) cents each, write the total cost in cents.
