Paige goes shopping and buys leggings for $24.95, a crewneck for $30.50, and a new purse (p). She says the expression 5.55+p can be used to find her total. Explain what she did wrong when writing her expression and write a new expression that correctly describes her total.

The decimal point is one step behind and rounded the number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of leggings = $24.95

Cost of crewneck = $30.50

Cost of new purse = p

The correct expression to find the total cost of her shopping is

What Paige did was she put the decimal point one step behind and rounded the number.

So, she got the wrong expression.

add -60 to 120 which will result in : 2x+3y=180

then subtract 2x: 3y=-2x+180

lastly, divide by 2: y= -2/3x+60
