QuestionLilli bought colorful socks for \ $5.50 each. Find total cost$ c $for$ p $pairs:$ c = 5.50p$. Fill in costs for 1-3 pairs.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The cost of a pair of socks is $5.50. Lilli buys an integer number of pairs of socks3. The total cost is the product of the number of pairs of socks and the cost per pair

STEP 2

We need to fill the table with the cost for different numbers of pairs of socks. The cost for each number of pairs is calculated by multiplying the number of pairs by the cost per pair.
$Cost = Number\, of\, pairs \\times Cost\, per\, pair$

STEP 3

We already have the cost for2 pairs of socks given in the table, which is $11.00. We can use this to confirm our equation.$ $Cost =2 \\times \$5.50$ $

STEP 4

Calculate the cost for2 pairs of socks.
$Cost =2 \\times \$.50 = \$11.00$

STEP 5

Now we can use our equation to find the cost for1 pair of socks.
$Cost =1 \\times \$5.50$

STEP 6

Calculate the cost for1 pair of socks.
$Cost =1 \\times \$5.50 = \$5.50$

STEP 7

Next, we can use our equation to find the cost for3 pairs of socks.
$Cost =3 \\times \$5.50$

STEP 8

Calculate the cost for3 pairs of socks.
$Cost =3 \\times \$5.50 = \$16.50$

STEP 9

Now that we have the costs for,2, and3 pairs of socks, we can write these values in the table.
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|} \hline Cost & $\$5.50$ & $\$11.00$ & $\$16.50$ \\ \hlineairs of socks & &2 &3 \\ \hline\end{tabular}

STEP 10

Finally, we can write an equation that shows the total cost, $c$ , for $p$ pairs of socks. This is the same equation we have been using to calculate the cost for each number of pairs.
$c = p \\times \$5.50$ So, the total cost, $c$ , for $p$ pairs of socks is $c = p \times \$5.50$ .
