Answer 1

Answer: A. (2 + 2) x 3

Step-by-step explanation: Bill bought 2 cups of coffee for $3 each and 2 muffins for $3 each. he used this expression to calculate the total amount he spent. (2 × 3) + (2 × 3)

What is another expression to calculate the total amount spent?

B) 2 + (3 + 3)

C) 2 × 3 × 3

D) (2 + 3) × (3 + 2)
