Josh bought 4 pairs of $12 jeans. He also bought three shirts that were $12 each minus a $2

clearance discount on each shirt. Finally he made a stop to get cookies for his party. The cookies

cost $5 per dozen and he needed 4 dozen. Which expression represents Josh's purchases? What

was Josh's total money spent?

he spent $98

Step-by-step explanation:

because we know that josh had bought 4 pairs of $12 jeans, we just have to multiply 4 by 12. this gets us to 48. so we know that josh already has spent $48. he also bought 3 shirts that were $12 each. however, each were on a clearance discount. meaning that each shirt was $10. so we would multiply 3 by $10 to get $30. so we add $30 and $48 to get how much he has spent so far. 30+48 is 78. so far he has spent $78. now he needs 4 dozen cookies. because each dozen is $5, we have to multiply that by how many dozen he is getting. hes getting 4 dozen so we have to multiply 5 by 4 to get $20. now we have to add that to what we have spent. 20 + 78 = 98. meaning josh spent $98.
