Question

Andre bought a stamp to mail a letter that costs 46 cents. He also mailed a package that costs 5 times as much as a stamp. How much did it cost to mail the package and the letter?

Answer 1

2.76 because the stamp cost 46 cents and the package cost $2.30 so you add them and get $2.76. You find the packages cost by multiplying 46 times 5.
 

Answer 2

0.46x5=2.3=$2.30
$2.30+$0.46=$2.76
The package and the letter cost $2.76 to send all together.
