Question

4 Jake buys 12 bags with 144 beads each, Amina buys 16 bags with

85 beads each, and Toni buys 12 bags with 75 beads each. How
many beads do they have?

Answer 1

Find the total beads each person has and add them all up to find the total beads altogether.

Jake:

1 bag = 144 beads

12 bags = 144×12

= 1728 beads

Amina:

1 bag = 85 beads

16 bags = 85×16

= 1360 beads

Toni:

1 bag = 75 beads

12 bags = 75×12

= 900 beads

Total beads = 1728 + 1360 + 900

= 3988
