Question

A four member bowling team decided they wanted new outfits. Shirts cost $15 each, pants cost $26 each and shoes cost $40 each.What is the total cost of the new outfits for all of the members?

Answer 1

Answer: $324

Explanation: Alright, let's pretend that you are the cost manager or fiduciary (a person who holds assets in trust for someone else. That person has a fiduciary duty to take care of the money.)
First thing is, we need to find the cost for a single member of the team. Now ofcourse each person needs atleast one shirt, pants and one pair of shoes. How much would a shirt, pant and a pair of shoes cost ? Calculate:
one shirt - - - $15
one pant - - - $26
1pair shoe - - +$40
Total bills: $81

Each member needs atleast $81. There are four members in total. Thus if one member needs 81 dollars then 4 members would need $81 + $81 + $81 + $81 = $324 OR for shortcut method: $81 * 4 = $324

Done! That's all. Hope it helped

Answer 2

Given:

A four member bowling team decided they wanted new outfits. Shirts cost $15 each, pants cost $26 each and shoes cost $40 each.

Required:

We need to find the total cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find total cost for 1 member

`15+26+40=81`

$81 for each member but here we have 4 members so we need to multiply with 4 to the each person's cost

`4*81=324`

Final answer:

Cost for 1 member is $81

cost for all member is $324
