a. Write two expressions in terms of d to show how much Winona and Takoda

Question

would pay in total if they buy their mother the set of power tools.

Answer 1

To write the expressions in terms of \( d \), where \( d \) represents the price of the set of power tools, we can consider Winona and Takoda each contributing a portion of the total cost.

Assuming Winona and Takoda are splitting the cost evenly, here are the two expressions:

1. Expression for Winona's Contribution: \[ \text{Winona's Contribution} = \frac{d}{2} \]

2. Expression for Takoda's Contribution: \[ \text{Takoda's Contribution} = \frac{d}{2} \]

Now, to find the total amount they would pay together, you can combine their contributions:

3. Total Payment: \[ \text{Total Payment} = \text{Winona's Contribution} + \text{Takoda's Contribution} = \frac{d}{2} + \frac{d}{2} = d \]

These expressions show how much each would pay and the total cost they would share for the set of power tools.
