Question

Randall bought 7 computer games at a yard sale. He paid $4 each for 6 of the games, and $5 for the other game. How much money did he spend?

Answer 1

He spent $29. Because 6•4=24+5=29

Answer 2

Answer: He spent $29 in total.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to multiply the cost of each game by their respective quantity:

• He paid $4 each for 6 of the games: 4 x 6: $24
• And $5 for the other game: 5 x 1= $5

Finally we add the amounts:

(4x6) + (5x1) = 24 + 5 = $29

He spent $29 in total.
