A coffee shop spends $408 for an order of 17 cases of paper cups.

If the coffee shop adds 5 more cases of paper cups to the order, how
much will the total cost be?

Im not really sure what it could be, so can someone help me?

528 will be your answer.



Explanation:
408 / 17 = 24
1 case = $24.00

24 x 5 = 120

408 + 120 = 528
