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.

1 answer

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 \( 2d \).
