Answer
View full question & answer→(a) Since the cost of each food stall = ₹ x
So, the cost of 4 food stall = 4x
Since, the cost of each game stall = ₹ y
So, the cost of 3 game stall = 3y
And, the fixed decoration cost = ₹ 500
So, expression for the total cost to organise the school fair = 4x + 3y + 500.
(b) The term 4x represents cost of 4 food stalls.
(c) Since the expression for the total cost to organise the school fair is 4x + 3y + 500
So, the total cost when the cost of each food stall is ₹ 200 and each game stall is ₹ 150 is
4 × 200 + 3 × 150 + 500
= 800 + 450 + 500 = ₹ 1750.
So, the cost of 4 food stall = 4x
Since, the cost of each game stall = ₹ y
So, the cost of 3 game stall = 3y
And, the fixed decoration cost = ₹ 500
So, expression for the total cost to organise the school fair = 4x + 3y + 500.
(b) The term 4x represents cost of 4 food stalls.
(c) Since the expression for the total cost to organise the school fair is 4x + 3y + 500
So, the total cost when the cost of each food stall is ₹ 200 and each game stall is ₹ 150 is
4 × 200 + 3 × 150 + 500
= 800 + 450 + 500 = ₹ 1750.
