The cost of the bouquets that Penny buys is $ 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Penny buys 3 bouquets of flowers for $3 each and 4 bouquets for $2 each.

WE have to find an expression that  gives the total cost of the bouquets that Penny buys.

Let she buys x bouquets of flowers for $3  and y bouquets for $2.

Then total amount she pays is equal to the sum of bouquets she buys of each cost.

cost of x bouquets of flowers for $3 = 3x

cost of y bouquets of flowers for $2 = 2y

Thus, Total cost is 3x +2y

Penny buys 3 bouquets of flowers for $3 each and 4 bouquets for $2 each

the cost of the bouquets that Penny buys is 3(3) + 2(4)

Thus, the cost of the bouquets that Penny buys is $ 17
