. Mrs. Juanita Santiago bought 4 ½ meters of blue cloth at P150 per meter, 6 2/3 meters of white satin at P83 per meter, 12 3/8 meters of ramie at P220 per meter, and 16 1/5 meters of black lace at P210 per meter. How much did she spend in all?
Answer provided by our tutors
the total cost c is
c = (4 1/2)*150 + (6 2/3)*83 + (12 3/8)*220 + (16 1/5)*210
c = (4*2 + 1)*150/2 + (6*3 + 2)*83/3 + (12*8 + 3)*220/8 + (16*5 + 1)*210/5
c = $7,352.83
