​

Answer 1

Total cost of Theo's purchases in terms of k and p=2.49(k + p) + 5.99

Explanation:

Cost of k key chain=$2.49

Cost of p photo frames=$2.49

Cost of a T-shirt=$5.99

Total cost of all items=cost of k key chain + cost of p photo frame + cost of The shirt

=2.49k + 2.49p + 5.99

Factorise

2.49 is common to both k and p

=2.49(k + p) + 5.99

Total cost of Theo's purchases in terms of k and p=2.49(k + p) + 5.99
