Answer 1

Expression: 6 (5-3) (option C)

Parker will spend $12

Step-by-step explanation:

number of friends = 5

number of friends that don't play laser tag = 3

The cost of laser tag per person = $6

Amount Parker spend on his friends = 6 (5-3)

Expression: 6 (5-3)

Amount Parker spend on his friends = 6 (5-3) = 6(2)

Parker will spend $12
