To find the total cost for 3 pencils and 2 notebooks, you start by calculating the cost of each item separately and then combine those amounts.

The cost of one pencil is $2.00. Therefore, for 3 pencils, you multiply the cost of one pencil by 3:

3 pencils × $2.00/pencil = $6.00.

Next, you calculate the cost of the notebooks. The cost of one notebook is $5.50. Hence, for 2 notebooks, you multiply the cost of one notebook by 2:

2 notebooks × $5.50/notebook = $11.00.

Now, you add the total cost of the pencils to the total cost of the notebooks:

$6.00 (cost of pencils) + $11.00 (cost of notebooks) = $17.00.

However, it appears there was a calculation oversight with the previous total amounts, and now let's clarify the total correctly.

If the correct calculation has been re-evaluated, the total comes to $17.00 after summing the costs for the pencils and notebooks. Thus, there can be a misunderstanding in calculating total costs.

Upon verifying costs, if indeed we evaluated our totals, you
