Let's calculate the total cost of Jamal's lunch.
First, find the total cost of the drinks:
4 drinks × \$1.75 per drink = \$7.00
Next, find the total cost of the sandwiches:
4 sandwiches × \$7.50 per sandwich = \$30.00
Now, add the tip:
\$7.00 (drinks) + \$30.00 (sandwiches) + \$7.00 (tip) = \$44.00
So, Jamal spends a total of \$44.00.
Solución
Let's denote the total cost of the drinks as \( D \) and the total cost of the sandwiches as \( S \).
Given:
- The cost of each drink is \( \$1.75 \).
- The cost of each sandwich is \( \$7.50 \).
- Jamal buys 4 drinks and 4 sandwiches.
We can write the equations to represent the total cost of the drinks and sandwiches as follows:
1. Total cost of drinks: \( D = 4 \times \$1.75 \)
2. Total cost of sandwiches: \( S = 4 \times \$7.50 \)
Now, we need to find the total cost of the lunch, which includes the cost of drinks, sandwiches, and the tip. Let's denote the total cost as \( T \).
The total cost of the lunch is the sum of the cost of drinks, sandwiches, and the tip:
\[ T = D + S + \$7 \]
Substitute the values of \( D \) and \( S \) into the equation:
\[ T = (4 \times \$1.75) + (4 \times \$7.50) + \$7 \]
Now, we can calculate the total cost of the lunch.
Calculate the value by following steps:
- step0: Calculate:
\(\left(4\times 1.75\right)+\left(4\times 7.5\right)+7\)
- step1: Multiply the numbers:
\(7+\left(4\times 7.5\right)+7\)
- step2: Multiply the numbers:
\(7+30+7\)
- step3: Add the numbers:
\(44\)

Beyond the Answer
First, let's break down the expenses: the cost of the drinks can be calculated as \( 4 \times 1.75 = 7 \) dollars, and the cost of the sandwiches is \( 4 \times 7.50 = 30 \) dollars. Adding these together gives us \( 7 + 30 = 37 \) dollars. Now, including the tip, we have \( 37 + 7 = 44 \) dollars in total. So, the equation representing the total cost can be written as: \[ \text{Total Cost} = (4 \times 1.75) + (4 \times 7.50) + 7 \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 7 + 30 + 7 = 44 \] Thus, Jamal spends a total of \( \$44 \) on lunch for his family!
