p + 0.2p

Part C
Combine the like terms in the expression from part B to create an equivalent expression.

1.2p

To combine the like terms in the expression p + 0.2p, we add the coefficients of the like terms, which in this case are both p.

p + 0.2p can be rewritten as (1 + 0.2)p.

Simplifying further, we add 1 and 0.2:

(1 + 0.2)p = 1.2p

Therefore, the expression p + 0.2p can be combined to create the equivalent expression 1.2p.
