Question

Sam bought shoes for $36.94 and x pairs of socks for $1.92 each. Which expression shows the total money spent? 36.94x + 1.92 36.94x + 1.92x 36.94 + 1.92x 36.94 + 1.92 + x

Answer 1

It is 36.94 + 1.92x because you already know how much money he spent on shoes but not for socks

Answer 2

Our variable is for pairs of socks, therefore we have 1 pair of shoes and x pairs of socks written as:

36.94 + 1.92x
