Concept

Firstly we have to add watercolor paint box amount, brushes amount and then subtract coupon amount and lastly dividing first part by 3

What are steps to solve this problem?

The steps are as follow:

• Alonzo, Enio, and George bought a watercolor paint box for $15.35 and 3 brushes for $2.25 each which means we have to add them as 15.35+(3 x 2.25), this is first part
• After that they had a coupon for $2.00 off their purchase which means this 2 needs to be subtract from first part as 15.35+(3 x 2.25)-2 this is second part
• The bill need to be split between the 3 friends so that the answer of second part should be divided by 3 as [15.35+(3 x 2.25)]÷3

So the final expression would be [15.35+(3 x 2.25)]÷3
