Answer:

x+(x-1.25)+[tex]\frac {1}{2}x[/tex]=4.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of the binder, and continue from there.

The equation that represents this situation is 4.75 = 2.5x - 1.25x.

Let the cost of the binder be represented with x.

The cost of the folder is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]x = 0.5x

The cost of the highlighter = x - $1.25

The total cost of the items = cost of binder + highlighter + folder

4.75 = x + 0.5x + x - 1.25

Add similar x terms together

4.75 = 2.5x - 1.25x
