Question

Sarah bought two hot dogs that cost $1.50

each and a large soda for $2.75. How much
did she pay all together?

Answer 1

$5.75

Let’s make it simple

Sara got 2 hotdogs which cost $1.50

1.50 x 2 = $3

1.50:

0 x 2 = 0
5 x 2 = 10

Place the 1 over the 1.

So it should look like this:
1
1.50
x 2
____
0 0

2 x 1 = 2 + 1 = 3

Now. Sarah got a large soda for $2.75.
We must to 2.75 + 3

Which is simple.

5.75. Do not add the three to any of the numbers BEHIND the decimal.

So the answer is $5.75

Answer 2

$5.75

Explanation:

price of the two hot dogs = 1.50 × 2 = $3

Then

The total payment = 3 + 2.75 = $5.75
