Carmine buys 8 plates for $1 each. he also buys 4 bowls. each bowl costs twice as much as each plate. the store is having a sale that gives carmine $3 off the bowls. write a numerical expression that shows how much he spent?

(8*1)+4(2*1-3)= 4

8 plates for $1
Bowls are 2x $1 and -$3 per bowl (they are selling them for -$1)
plus 4 bowls for 2x $1 less $3 per bowl

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
