Answer:
5(P - 1.00) + 3(P - 0.75)
Explanation:
Cost of a package in store A = $P
Discount offered at store A = $1.00
Price paid per package at store A = Cost of a package in store A - Discount offered at store A
= P - 1.00
Cost of a package in store B = $P
Discount offered at store B = $0.75
Price paid per package at store B = Cost of a package in store B - Discount offered at store B
= P - 0.75
Total cost of 5 packages at store A and 3 packages at store B = 5(P - 1.00) + 3(P - 0.75)
