It is given that Kim purchased ๐‘ฅ items from an online store at a price of $ 10 each. The delivery charges for each of the first two items were $ 2.5 and for the rest it was $0.5 per item. We have to find the total amount Kim had to pay for her purchase.
Since, she purchased ๐‘ฅ items at a price of $10 each so the total price = Number of Items ร— Price per item

x*10=$ 10x


Now, the delivery charges for first two items = $ 2.5 each So, the total charges for the first two items = 2 ร— 2.5 = $ 5 The number of items remaining to be delivered = ๐‘ฅ โˆ’ 2 The charge for remaining items = $ 0.5 per item So, the total charge for the remaining (๐‘ฅ โˆ’ 2) items = (๐‘ฅ โˆ’ 2) ร— 0.5 = $ (0.5๐‘ฅ โˆ’1 )

Hence, the total amount she has to pay for her purchase = Total price of the ๐‘ฅ items + total delivery charges= 10๐‘ฅ + 0.5๐‘ฅ โˆ’ 1 + 5= 4 + 10.5x



Thanks got it. I missed this each of the first two items were $2.5
