Answer

The question asks for the total cost of three Elite computers. To find this, you first need to identify the unit price of an 'Elite' computer from the given table, which is $490. Then, you multiply this price by the quantity, which is 3, resulting in the expression $490 x 3.

Question 3

The table shows computer prices at a local electronics store. Use the table to answer the question. April selected the least expensive computer she could buy with 6 GB of RAM memory. She also used a $30 off coupon. How much did she pay for the computer?

$460

Answer

To solve this, first identify all computers in the table that have 6 GB of RAM. Among those, find the one with the lowest price. Assuming the least expensive 6GB RAM computer costs $490, April then applied a $30 coupon. Subtracting the coupon from the price ($490 - $30) gives a final payment of $460.
