Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]t = 4b + 10c[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1 bag = 4 doughnuts

1 carton = 10 doughnuts

Required

Determine the amount of doughnuts in b bags and c cartons

If 1 bag contains 4 doughnuts, then b bags contain 4b doughnuts

If 1 carton contains 10 doughnuts, then c cartons contain 10b doughnuts

So, the total (t) is calculated by adding up the amount of doughnuts in the cartons and the bags:

i.e.

[tex]t = 4b + 10c[/tex]
