29. SCUBA DIVING The sign shows the equipment rented or sold by a scuba diving store.
a. Write two expressions to represent the total sales to rent 2 wet suits,
3 air tanks, 2 dive flags, and selling 5 underwater cameras.
b. What are the total sales?

The total sales to rent the diving items are :

2(17.25) + 3(15.50) + 2(5.00) + 5(18.99)

2(17.25 + 5.00) + 3(15.50) + 5(18.99)

The total sales to rent the diving items is : $185.95

Given the following rental cost:

Underwater Camera = $18.99

Air tank = $15.50

Wet Suit = $17.25

Dive Flag = $5.00

Expressions to represent the cost of :

2 wet suits, 3 air tanks, 2 dive flags and 5 underwater cameras

Price = price per item × quantity purchased

Expression 1 :

2(17.25) + 3(15.50) + 2(5.00) + 5(18.99)

Similarly, we could group items with the same quantity together :

2(17.25 + 5.00) + 3(15.50) + 5(18.99)

Using either of the two expressions above, the total sales can be calculated thus :

2(17.25 + 5.00) + 3(15.50) + 5(18.99)

2(22.25) + 3(15.50) + 5(18.99)

44.50 + 46.50 + 94.95

= $185.95

The expressions for the total sales to rent the diving items are given above with a total sales value of $185.95
