Gabriel is at the grocery store, and wants to figure out his total cost before he gets to the register. He bought 2.5 pounds of apples that are x dollars a pound and 2 bags of lettuce for y dollars each.

Gabriel remembers he has a coupon for $2 off his bill. Which expression gives the new amount he will pay?

Total before coupon: 2.5x + 2y. With $2 off, the amount paid is

2.5x + 2y − 2

(Or equivalently (5/2)x + 2y − 2.)
