Question

Jason wrote this expression to describe the total amount he will spend on a magazine and a book.

Answer 1

The 11 may represent the price of the magazine if all the magazines at a certain store are $11. Then the s may represent the price of a book because all the books at a bookstore are different prices.

Hope this helps
