Question

Write two expressions in terms of d to show how much Winona and Takoda would pay in total if they buy their mother the set of power tools.

Answer 1

To express the total amount Winona and Takoda would pay for the set of power tools in terms of \( d \), we first need to establish the expressions representing how much each of them contributes.

Let's assume:

- Winona pays \( d \) for her share.
- Takoda pays another \( d \) for his share.

Therefore, their total contribution can be represented as:

1. **Winona's contribution:** \( d \)
2. **Takoda's contribution:** \( d \)

Now, the total amount they pay together can be expressed as:

\[
\text{Total Amount} = d + d = 2d
\]

So the two expressions in terms of \( d \) showing how much Winona and Takoda would pay in total are:

1. Winona's payment: \( d \)
2. Takoda's payment: \( d \)

And the overall total payment would be \( 2d \).
