Answer:

The expression for the Total Cost for Ordering n lunches is [tex]6.25+3.5n[/tex].

Total Cost to deliver 5 lunches is $23.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of each lunch delivery = $6.25

One time delivery fee = $3.50

Let number of lunches to be delivered be 'n'.

We need to find the expression for the cost of ordering n lunches.

Hence we can say that;

Total Cost for Ordering n lunches is equal to sum of One time delivery fee and Cost of each lunch delivery multiplied by number of lunches to be delivered.

Framing in equation form we get;

Total Cost for Ordering n lunches  = [tex]6.25+3.5n[/tex]

Hence The expression for the Total Cost for Ordering n lunches is [tex]6.25+3.5n[/tex].

Now Given:

Number of lunches to be delivered = 5

We need to find the Total Cost for delivering.

Substituting the value of n =5 in above expression we get;

Total Cost for delivering = [tex]6.25+3.5\times 5 = 6.25 +17.5 = \$23.75[/tex]

Hence Total Cost to deliver 5 lunches is $23.75.
