Question

A club had some money to purchase new chairs.After buying 355 chairs at $199 each,there was 1,068 remaining. How much money did the club have at first?

Answer 1

Well you multiply 355 by 199 then add 1,068 and you would get 71,713

Answer 2

What you have to do here is to mutiply the cost of the chair (199) by the amount that was brought (355)
355*199= 70645
You've then got to add the original money that they had (1068) to this amount
70645+1068= 71713
Therefore, the club had $71713 before they purchased the chairs.
Hope this helps :)
