Question

Larry purchased 3 pairs of pants for $24 each and 5 shirts for $18 each. How much did Larry spend?

Answer 1

Answer: $162.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the amount of clothes he bought with the price, then add what you get together.

So, 3 x 24 = 72

5 x 18 = 90

90 + 72 = 162

add a dollar sign, decimal and two zeros and you're done :)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

He spent $54 on pants (3 × $18 = $54) and $120 on shirts (5 × $24 = $120). Altogether he spent $174 ($54 + $120 = $174). If you chose a, you calculated the cost of one pair of pants plus one shirt instead of three pants and five shirts.

Thank you
