Algebra practice question

A bakery's takings T, in dollars, on a day when it sells c cakes are given by T(c) = 40 + 6c. What are the takings, in dollars, on a day when it sells 10 cakes?

40 + 6(10) = 100.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 46
46 adds 6 once instead of 6 × 10.
If you answered 60
60 is the cake sales alone, without the 40.
If you answered 460
460 multiplies 46 by 10.
