Pilar will pay 30 cents less from the original amount by using reusable bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bags used by Pilar = b = 6

Price decrease per bag = 5 cents

Let x be the total amount paid by Pilar.

Decrease will lessen the amount paid by Pilar, therefore, according to statement;

P(x) = x - 5b

As she used 6 bags, therefore, putting b=6

[tex]P(x)=x-5(6)\\P(x)=x-30[/tex]

Pilar will pay 30 cents less from the original amount by using reusable bags.
