Question

Mikayla bought 5 skirts at $x each. Three of the 5 skirts came with a matching top for an additional $9 each. Write and simplify an expression that represents the total cost of her purchase.

Answer 1

So Mikayla bought 5 shirts for $x dollars each
this part of the expression we can call 5x
then 3 of the shirts came with an additional $9 each. 9x3=27
so the expression is 5x+27
