Question

sushmila is buying mehndi supplies. she has a coupon for $5 off each package of henna powder. she plans to buy 3 packages of henna powder and 2 squeeze bottles.
p = price of a package of henna powder
s = price of a squeeze bottle
which expression represents sushmila’s total cost for the supplies?
3(p − 5) + 2s
the packages of henna powder cost $12 each and the squeeze bottles cost $3 each. what is sushmila’s total cost for the supplies?
$

Explanation:

Step1: Sustituir \( p = 12 \) y \( s = 3 \) en la expresión \( 3(p - 5) + 2s \)

Primero, calculamos el valor dentro del paréntesis: \( p - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7 \)

Step2: Multiplicar por 3 el resultado del paso 1

\( 3 \times 7 = 21 \)

Step3: Calcular el término con \( s \)

\( 2s = 2 \times 3 = 6 \)

Step4: Sumar los resultados de los pasos 2 y 3

\( 21 + 6 = 27 \)

Answer:

\( 27 \)
