Question

Uncle Pete always gave his nephews and nieces $5 for their birthdays. He also brought them a $10 cake. If Uncle Pete has 3 nephews and 6 nieces, how much does he spend on birthday celebrations?

Answer 1

well if Pete has 3 nephews and 6 nieces you add those two together then do 9 x $5= 45 + ( 10 x 9)= $135

Answer 2

$135, because he has a total of 9 nephews/nieces

Basically, you do 5 x 9 = 45
Then 9 x 10 = 90

90 + 45 = 135

Hope it helps!
