Since there isn't a given amount of children for both age groups you can represent each group by a variable:
Let variable (a) stand for the number of children ages 6-10.
Let variable (b) stand for the number of children ages 10 and older.
For one child of age 6-10, the total of the sum of the costs of each food item given to him or her would be $1.75
For one child of age 10 or older, the total of the sum of the costs of each food item given to him or her would be $2.10
The total cost to feed children 6-10 can be represented as an equation:
Total cost = 1.75a
The total cost to feed children 10 or older represented as an equation would be:
Total cost = 2.1b
And if you were to find the two total costs of both groups combined the equation would look like this:
Total cost = 1.75a + 2.1b
