Question

Jenn bought 12 pens for $2 each and 6 pads of paper for $3 each. She was in a hurry and forgot to include the operations. She wrote 12 2 6 3 Place parentheses and operation signs to write an expression for the total cost of Jenn's purchase. How much did she spend?​

Answer 1

(12 • 2) + (6 • 3)= 24+18= 42

In total she spent $42

Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

(12 x 3) + (6 x 3) = 54

Explanation:

First of all, the 12 penda should be multiplied by the amount each other them cost, and same goes with the pads of paper. After you multiplied both, you add them and there you have your answer.
