To find the total amount Winona and Takoda would pay for the power tools after applying the discount and then adding any additional amount, we can use the following steps:

  1. Calculate the discounted price for the power tools:

    • The original cost of the power tools is \( d \).
    • The discount is 15%, so the amount discounted is: \[ \text{Discounted Amount} = 0.15d \]
    • The price after the discount is: \[ \text{Discounted Price} = d - 0.15d = 0.85d \]
  2. Add any additional cost mentioned in the problem (which is given as \( +2 \)):

    • Therefore, the total paid for the power tools is: \[ \text{Total Paid} = 0.85d + 2 \]

The two expressions in terms of \( d \) that show how much Winona and Takoda would pay in total if they buy their mother the set of power tools are:

  1. The discounted price: \( 0.85d \)
  2. The total paid including the additional amount: \( 0.85d + 2 \)
