Question

Given a school supply store sells pencils for $2, pens for $4, and markers for $5. Write an expression for the total cost of 3 pencils, 2 pens, and 3 markers.

Answer 1

(3x2) + (4x2) + (5x3) =29

Explanation:

pencils are 2 dollars each, multiply 2 by 3 since you're buying 3, thats 6 dollars.

pens are 4 dollars, times 2, thats 8 dollars.

markers are 5 dollars, times 3 thats 15.

add all those together 6+8+15=29
