Two enterprising college students decide to start a business. They will make up and deliver helium balloon bouquets for special occasions. It will cost them $39.99 to buy a machine to fill the balloons with helium. They estimate that it will cost them $2.00 to buy the balloons, helium and ribbons needed to make each balloon bouquet. Which of the following expressions could be used to model the total cost for producing b balloon bouquets?

$2.00b + $39.99$37.99b$39.99b + $2.00$41.99bSave

Respuesta :

I think it's the second equation. I could be wrong but I think that's what it is

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Machine to fill the balloons with helium will cost = $39.99

Cost of the balloons, helium and ribbons for each bouquet = $2.00

If b balloon bouquets are produced then cost of b balloon bouquets = $2b

Total cost for producing b balloon bouquets = cost of machine + cost of material

                                                                           = $(39.99 + 2b)

Therefore, cost to produce b bouquets will be $2.00b + $39.99

Hence option A is the answer.
