Question 633308: Can you help me solve this:
You are shopping for school supplies. A store is offering a 10% discount on binders and a 20% discount on packages of paper. You want to buy 5 binders originally marked $2.50 each and 10 packages of paper originally marked $1.30 each. Write an expression that shows how much you will save after the discounts, then evaluate the expression?

5*(.10*2.5)+10*(.2*1.3)=$ 3.85 discount savings
1.25 for the binders
2.60 for the paper
