Given that cost of 1 drinks in a glass bottle = $2.00

Given that cost of 1 drinks in an aluminum can = $0.50

Given that cost of 1 drinks in a plastic bottle = $1.50

Then sum of costs  of 1 drink from each will be = 2.00+0.50+1.50


Given that you buy two of each then total cost will be given by 2(2.00+0.50+1.50)


Hence expression that represents the amount of money you will spend is 2(2.00+0.50+1.50).

Using distributive property, we can rewrite it as:

2(2.00+0.50+1.50)=2*2.00+2*0.50+2*1.50

This is final answer of part A.


----------

Given that refund on 1 drinks in a glass bottle = $0.05

Given that refund on 1 drinks in an aluminum can = $0.10

Given that refund on 1 drinks in a plastic bottle = $0.15

Then sum of refunds on 1 drink from each will be = 0.05+0.10+0.15


Given that you plan to recycle all of the items you purchased then total refund will be given by 2(0.05+0.10+0.15)


Hence expression to represent the amount of refund you will receive is 2(0.05+0.10+0.15).

Using distributive property, we can rewrite it as:

2(0.05+0.10+0.15)=2*0.05+2*0.10+2*0.15

This is final answer of part B.


----------

Net cost is given by difference of total cost and total refund

Net cost = 2(2.00+0.50+1.50) - 2(0.05+0.10+0.15)

= 2*2.00+2*0.50+2*1.50 - (2*0.05+2*0.10+2*0.15)

= 4+1+3 - (0.10+0.20+0.30)

= 8 - 0.60

= 7.40

Hence net cost is $7.40
