A store sells bandanas for $2 each and combs for $1. Shelby buys 3 bandanas and a comb. Kendra buys 2 bandanas and 4 combs. Lucy has a "buy one get one half off" coupon, she plans on buying 4 bandanas. Find the total amount spent.

the total cost is $21

Step-by-step explanation:

Shelby:

3 bandanas, 1 comb

3 × 2 + 1× 1

6+1= 7

kendra:

2 bandanas, 4 combs

2×2 + 4×1

4+4

=8

Lucy

4 bandanas

4×2=

8

since she has a buy 1 get 1 half off coupon

she pays full price for 2 hence 2×2= 4

half price for 2 hence 2×1 = 2

thus 4+2=6

total price= 7+8+6

= 21 dollars

the solution is h=10 because you add 9 to each side of the equation.
