Molly bought two sweaters for $30 each and three pair of pants for $25 each. She had a 20% off coupon for her entire purchase. Model and write an expression for the amount of money Molly spent. State your answer in a complete sentence.

0.8 [(30 * 2) + (25 * 3)] = $_______

Molly spent ________ for her entire purchase.

Thank you so much!!! <3

You are very welcome.

To find the amount of money Molly spent, we need to find the total cost of the sweaters and pants and then apply the 20% off coupon.

The cost of two sweaters is $30 each, so the total cost of the sweaters is 2 * $30 = $<<2*30=60>>60.

The cost of three pairs of pants is $25 each, so the total cost of the pants is 3 * $25 = $<<3*25=75>>75.

The total cost of the sweaters and pants is $60 + $75 = $<<60+75=135>>135.

Now, we need to apply the 20% off coupon to find the final amount Molly spent.

To find the 20% off of $135, we multiply $135 by 20% or 0.20.

The amount of discount Molly received is $135 * 0.20 = $<<135*0.20=27>>27.

The final amount Molly spent is the total cost minus the discount, which is $135 - $27 = $<<135-27=108>>108.

Therefore, the expression for the amount of money Molly spent is $108.
