Answer: 1.29n + 0.79w + 3.39b is the expression.

The total cost is $12.91

Step-by-step explanation: Substitute the number of pounds for each given supply. Multiply to get the individual amounts, then add all of those amounts to find the total cost.

1.29(2) + 0.79(4) + 2.39(3) = total

2.58 + 3.16 + 7.17 = 12.91
