Someone help please Pedro goes to the store and buys a binder, a folder, and a highlighter. The folder’s cost is half the cost of the binder, and the highlighter’s cost is $1.25 less than the binder. The total cost of the three supplies, with no tax, is $4.75. Write an equation to represent the situation. Show your work.

The equation that represents this situation is 4.75 = 2.5x - 1.25x.

Let the cost of the binder be represented with x.

The cost of the folder is x = 0.5x

The cost of the highlighter = x - $1.25

The total cost of the items = cost of binder + highlighter + folder

4.75 = x + 0.5x + x - 1.25

Add similar x terms together

4.75 = 2.5x - 1.25x

x+(x-1.25)+=4.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of the binder, and continue from there.

add all the numbers and check the ones place.

the answer is 486. as the ones place is more than 4, the estimation will be the next 10 ie, 490

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
