Question

Bill bought 2 cups of coffee for $3 each and 2 muffins for $3 each. He used this expression to calculate the total amount he spent.

(2 × 3) + (2 × 3)


What is another expression to calculate the total amount spent?
A) (2 + 2) × 3
B) 2 + (3 + 3)
C) 2 × 3 × 3
D) (2 + 3) × (3 + 2)

Answer 1

Answer: A) (2+2) x 3

Step-by-step explanation: The answer to the problem (2 X 3) + (2 X 3) is 12 so we have to find the eqaution in the answers that equals 12,

B) 2 + (3+3) is equal to 8 so that can't be the correct answer

C) 2 x 3 x 3 is equal to 18 so that can't be the correct answer

D) (2 + 3) x (3+2) simplifies to 5 x 5 which is 25 so that can't be the correct answer

So that leaves us with A) (2+2) x 3 as the correct answer because it equals 12
