Question

A couple of travelers are buying souvenirs at the gift shop in Istanbul, Turkey. Jake buys a keychain for $7.65 and 5 pounds of Turkish delights. Tina buys postcards for $2.45 and 4 pounds of Turkish delights for her mom. Use the variable p to represent the price, in dollars, per pound of cherries. Write and simplify an expression to represent how much more Jackson spent (hurry please)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the cost of Turkish delights in dollar per pound. Hence the money spent by Jake who bought 4 pounds of Turkish delight is:

Jake = 7.65 + 5p

The money spent by Tina who bought 4 pounds of Turkish delight is:

Tina = 2.45 + 4p

The money Jake spent more = money spent by Jake - money spent by Tina = (7.65 + 5p) - (2.45 + 4p) = 5.20 + p.
