The answer is that C) 3 (s-5) = 45

Carina · Answer 2

The answer should be C. just expand it to see it, so answer C is actually 3s - 3x5 = 45. as each toy has 5 off, he bought 3, so we have to minus 3x5 aka 15 when calculating the total. and of course, the original price S just multiply that by 3.
