Question

Esther and her 6 brothers went shopping at the mall. She shopped in 12 different stores while her brothers each shopped in 8 different stores. How many stores did Esther and her brothers shop in altogether?

Answer 1

60 stores

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the total number of stores in which Esther and her 6 brothers went shopping

From the question, she shopped in 12 different stores

Each of her six brothers shopped in 8 different stores

That makes the number of stores in which the brothers shop be 8 * 6 = 48 stores

The total number of stores is thus, 48 + 12 = 60 stores
