Question

For a filed trip the school bought 47 sandwiches for $40.60 each and 39 bags of chips for $1.25 each. How much did the school spend in all?

Answer 1

$1,956.95

Explanation:

The school bought 47 sandwiches for $40.60

= 47 × 40.60

= 1,908.2

They also bought 39 bags of chips for $1.25

= 1.25×39

= 48.75

Therefore the total amount spent can be calculated as follows

= 48.75 + 1,908.2

= 1,956.95

Hence the total amount spent by the school is $1,956.95
