Question

Ms. Blankenship had $80 to purchase school supplies for her class. She bought 32 glue sticks and 32 boxes of crayons. Each glue stick costs $1.40, and each box of crayons costs $0.59. How much money did Ms. Blankenship have left after these purchases?

Answer 1

$16.32

Explanation:

First you need to find how much each thing is going to cost.

So for 32 glue sticks, it will cost $44.80 because you multiply 32 by 1.40.

Next you need to find the cost of thebox of crayons, which is $18.88 because you multiply 32 by 0.59.

Then you add those two totals together and you get 63.68.

Lastly you subtract that from 80 to see how much money Ms. Blankenship has leftover which is $16.32.

Hope this helps. :)
