Answer:
The answer is: C
Step-by-step explanation: So they tell you that each pencil cost the same as another and the same applies to the journals. With this information you know that you're spending the same for each one, meaning you can multiply the amount you bought by the price and get your total. So, as an example: Mr. Bowden bought 18 journals, in our situation journals cost *J*. So 18 multiplied by *J* would be our total for the journals Mr. Bowden bought. the same applies to pencils, and so Mr. Bowden bought 40 pencils, and each pencil costs *P*. We can multiply 40 and *P* to figure out what the pencils in total for Mr. Bowden cost. We can then add the total for journals and pencils for Mr. Bowden and get $95.42. I hope this helps :)
