Shania is making eight gift bags to give out to her friends coming over to her house for a movie night. Each gilt bag will con polishes and a manicure kit. Including tax, each nail polish costs $2.50 and each manicure kit costs $4.00.
The following expression shows the amount of money Shania will spend on gift bags.
8(2.5x + 4)

20x + 32   or   $20 spent on the nail polish & $32 spent on the kits

Formula:

bags($polishx + $kit)

Work:

8(2.5x + 4)

8 x 2.5x = 20x

8 x 4 = 32

step-by-step explanation:

just plug in each number for x and see which ones work and don't

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
