5. at a local store you find the following prices listed: tape 2 rolls for $1.28 notepads 3 pads for .87 highlighters 1 for 1.59 pens 2 for 1.98 how much would you pay for one roll of tape, two note pads, two highlighters, and two pens? a. $5.72 b. $6.38 c. $4.50 d. $8.07

To find the cost of one roll of tape, we divide the given price by 2 because the given price is for twice the number of rolls that we want.
$1.28/2 = $0.64

To find the cost of two note pads, we first divide the given price by 3 because we want to know how much one note pad costs.
$0.87/3 = $0.29
Each note pad is 29 cents. Since we want to note pads, we double this amount.
$0.29*2 = $0.58


One highlighter costs $1.59. We want two of them, so we double this amount.
$1.59*2 = $3.18

We want two boxes of ink catridges, and we are told that two boxes cost $1.98.

Let's total the amounts:
$0.64 + $0.58 + $3.18 + $1.98 = $6.38
We would pay $6.38 for these seven items.

The answer to the question above is $6.38
