Alang went to the store to buy some walnuts. The price per pound of the walnuts is $7 per pound and he has a coupon for $2.50 off the final amount. With the coupon, how much would Alang have to pay to buy 2 pounds of walnuts? Also, write an expression for the cost to buy pp pounds of walnuts, assuming at least one pound is purchased.

$11.50 is the cost for 2 pounds of walnuts

Expression: 7p - 2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create an expression to represent the cost:

7p will represent the cost, since the walnuts are $7 per pound, and 2.50 needs to be subtracted from this because of the coupon for $2.50 off

So, the expression is 7p - 2.50

Use this expression to find the price for 2 pounds of walnuts:

7p - 2.50

7(2) - 2.50

14 - 2.50

= 11.50

So, the cost with the coupon will be $11.50

the answer is 288..

hope this
