The prices per pound of different types of nuts are shown. write an expression that can be used to find the total cost of 2 pounds of peanuts, 3 pounds of cashews, and 1 pound of almonds, all for 20 % off.

Well, let's consider the total cost as x

To find a total of anything, you must add ...

So 2+3+1=6

Now to find our expression ...

20% is a percentage and 1=100% so we divided our total by 100 = 3/50 now multiply that by 20=60/50 or 1 1/5

So now we look at our steps to find the expression ...

First we added so we start with 2+3+1

Then we divided ... 2+3+1*1/100

Then we multiplied ... 2+3+1*1/100*20

Clean it up a bit ... [ (2+3+1) * 1/100]*20

And our total cost ... [ (2+3+1) * 1/100]*20=x

So our answer is ... [ (2+3+1) * 1/100]*20=x
