Write an equation that expresses this situation: Kamel bought a bag
for 45.75 pounds and a pair of shoes for 36.15 pounds, what is the total
amount Kamel paid?

To represent the total amount Kamel paid, we can write the equation as follows:

\[
\text{Total Amount} = 45.75 + 36.15
\]

So, the equation expressing this situation is:

\[
\text{Total Amount} = 81.90
\]

Therefore, Kamel paid a total of 81.90 pounds.
