Hello!

Find the cost of each individual item.

1.28 / 2 = 0.64

Each roll of tape costs $0.64.

0.87 / 3 = 0.29

Each notebook costs $0.29.

Each highlighter costs $1.59.

1.98 / 2 = 0.99

Each pen costs $0.99.

One roll of tape is $0.64, two notepads are $0.58 two highlighters cost $3.18, two pens are 1.98.

Add them up: .

0.64 + 0.58 + 3.18 + 1.98 = 6.38

ANSWER:

You would pay B. $6.38.

We have to determine what it costs for one single item and then divide or multiply by the quantity needed.

1 roll Tape= $1.28÷2= $0.64

2 rolls Notepads= 0.87÷3= 0.29x2= $0.58

2 Highlighters= $1.59x2= $3.18

2 Pens= $1.98

Add these totals:
+0.64
+0.58
+3.18
+1.98
=$6.38

ANSWER: B) $6.38

Hope this helps! :)
