A. The two expressions to show how much Winona and Takoda would pay in total if they buy their mother the set of power tools are:
1. Total Paid = D - 0.15D
2. Total Paid = 0.85D
B. The expression 0.90 (D - 5) refers to the total amount paid if they buy their mother jewelry with a discount of 10%. I know this because the expression subtracts 5 from D and then multiplies it by 0.90, which represents a 10% discount. This expression could also be written as 0.9D - 4.5.
