$3.19 --> each permanent markers worth
x --> number of pack of markers the person bought
3.19x --> total money spent for the markers


1.20 --> each wide-ruled  notebooks worth
y --> number of wide-ruled  notebooks the person bought
1.20y --> total money spent for the total wide-ruled  notebooks

1.20 --> each college-ruled  notebooks worth
z --> number of college-ruled notebooks the person bought
1.20z --> total money spent for the total college-ruled notebooks


So you add all the money spent for each item and you have to multiply all of them with the tax (1.06).. so from your choices, which one do you think best represents the situation?
