spent, not including tax, on pencils and notebooks?
•a 28.(1.25+0.65)
•B (2x1.25) +(4x0.65)
•C (24x1.25)+(4x0.65)
•D (12x1.25)+(4x0.65)

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 pencils are 1.25, 24 would be 2 x 1.25. And 4 notebooks worth 0.65 would be 4 x 0.65

Added up, this expression is:

(2 x 1.25) + (4 x 0.64)
