The prices per pound of different types of nuts are shown. write an expression that can be used to find the total cost of 2 pounds of peanuts, 3 pounds of cashews , and 1 pound of almonds ,all for 20% off.

(2x3.95 + 3x4.25 + 5.99) x 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The 20% (0.2) discount can be converted into a multiplier factor by subtracting it from 1, that is

1 - 0.2 = 0.8 (80% final price with discount).

The expression must contain the respective multiplications of quantity by price:

Peanuts = 2 x $3.95

Cashews = 3 x $4.25

Almonds = 1 x $5.99

The partial expression is: 2x3.95 + 3x4.25 + 5.99

Additionally, we multiply that expression by the final price factor with discount, so we have

(2x3.95 + 3x4.25 + 5.99) x 0.8

Hope this helps!
