Question

Janice bought 5 bags of gummy bears at $0.85 each and 9 packs of gum at $1.20 each for her class party.

Express what she purchased mathematically.

Answer 1

4.25 + 10.80= 15.05

5 x 0.85 = 4.25

9 x 1.20 = 10.80

Answer 2

5 times 0.85 = 4.25 gummy bears
9 times 1.20 = 10.80 gum
10.80 + 4.25 = 15.05 total
