Question

PETS Each month Travis spends $20 for premium food$10 for treats $18 for grooming, and $3 for toys for his pet. Write an expression that could be used to determine the amount he spends on these items for his pet over a period of 12 months.

Answer 1

$492 per year

Explanation:

The first step we take towards solving this question is to add all the numbers we were given as money spent(excluding that of the month)

$20 + $10 + $18 + $3 = $41 per month

This means that a total of $41 was spent per month.

Going further, since we're told it's 12 months, we then multiply it by 12, and thus, we have

$41 * 12 = $492 per year

Therefore, the total money spent is $492 per 12 months, or per year
