Question

Cheryl paid $3.00 for a pair of socks and eight times as much for a pair of shoes. Her brother Kevin also bought socks and shoes but paid twice as much as Cheryl did for each. How much money did they spend together ?

Answer 1

Cheryl: 3 + 8(3) = 3 + 24 = 27

Kevin: 2(3) + 2(24) = 6 + 48 = 54

27 + 54 = 81

They spent $81.00 all together.

Answer 2

They paid $111 all together.
