Question

Pilar used five reusable shopping bags on a recent purchase she made at a grocery store. Each bag decreased the amount she spent by 5 cents. What was the change to the amount Pilar spent at the grocery store by using the reusable bags?

Answer 1

-75 cents

Explanation:

Pilar decreased the amount she spent at the grocery store by 15 cents for each reusable bag she used.

Therefore, the amount she spent changed by -15 cents for each reusable bag she used.

Multiply the number of bags by -15 cents per bag to find the total change to the amount Pilar spent.

5 bags × (-15 cents per bag) = -(5 bags × 15 cents per bag)

= -75 cents

Therefore, the amount Pilar spent at the grocery store changed by -75 cents because she used 5 reusable bags.
