Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I could be wrong but I think it's 3(p-5)+2s
In the problem it states that Sushmila has a coupon, 5 off for each package. She plans to buy 3 packages of henna powder, and 2 squeeze bottles.
2s = number of squeeze bottles
+ = and
3p = number of packages
-5 = amount off each package of henna powder
So I figured it would go like this:
number of packages( amount off each package ) and number of bottles, or
3(p-5)+2s.
It most likely won't be any other answer because:
3p + 2(s - 5) = amount of packages plus 2 ( bottles minus 5 dollars )
3p - 5 + 2s = amount of packages minus 5 dollars off the total, plus 2 bottles
3(p - 5 + 2s) = 3 ( package minus 5 dollars off the total plus 2 bottles )
(I don't know if this makes sense, and I'm not entirely sure that I put down the correct answer)
