Question

Ella buys 5 packs of muffins. She uses a coupon and saves $3 off the total. Which expression represents her total cost?

A. 5m -3
B. 5 -3m
C.5+3
D. 5m + 3

Answer 1

The answer is A. 5m - 3

Explanation:

Ella bought 5 packs of muffins but since we don't know how many muffins are in each pack, we put a variable in place so it's 5m. Since she saved $3 off the total, that means you would subtract 3 from the total, so the problem would be 5m - 3
