Kendra bought a magazine for $3.00 and 4 paperback books for $5.00 each. The expression 3+4x5 represents the total cost in dollars of her purchases. What are the terms in this expression?

T= total cost
m= magazine
p= paperback books

To determine the total, (multiply the price of a magazine by the number of magazines) PLUS (the price per book multiplied by the number of books).

To Solve (just so you know how):
T= $3m + $5p
T= 3(1) + 5(4)
T= 3 + 20
T= $23 total spent

A term is part of the equation separated by an addition or subtraction sign

-3m is a term (3 in given expression)

-20 is a term (4x5 is one term)

-T is a term

Hope this helps! :)
