Question

1. Mr. Terry had $70 to purchase school supplies
for his class. He bought 24 glue sticks and 10
packs of pencils. Each glue stick cost $1.15 and
each pack of pencils cost $0.58. How much money
did Mr. Terry have left after these purchases?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr. Terry has $36.60 left after these purchases.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply the amount of glue sticks purchased by their singular cost.

24 x 1.15= 27.6

2. Multiply the amount of pencil packs purchased by their singular cost.

10 x 0.58= 5.8

3. Add the solutions.

27.6+5.8=33.4

4. Subtract 33.4 from 70.

70-33.4=36.60
