Question

Brandon went to the store to buy some walnuts. The price per pound of the walnuts is $6.50 per pound and he has a coupon for $3.75 off the final amount. With the coupon, how much would Brandon have to pay to buy 5 pounds of walnuts? Also, write an expression for the cost to buy

p
p pounds of walnuts, assuming at least one pound is purchased.

Yes. Yes I know. It’s stuff from years ago. My teacher is making me do this review thing and I don’t remember anything past a week ago.

Answer 1

6.50p - 3.75 = c

6.50(5) - 3.75 = c

32.50 - 3.75 = c

C (cost) = 28.75
