You have just shipped 26 reels of electrical wire. Each reel has 20,000 feet of wire. The price of the wire is $0.05 per foot. What is the total value of the shipped wire?

20,000(.05) = 1000
so 1 reel of 20,000 feet cost 1,000
26 reels were shipped so multiply 26*1000
26000

If you multiply 26 by 20,000 you would get 520,000 feet in total. Then if you multiply that by $0.05 then you get $26,000. Therefore that is the cost of the 26 reels of electrical wire that were shipped.
