Question

Every year during the holiday season, Geraldine sends each of nine grandchildren a check for $30. during the past five holiday seasons, how much money has she gifted to her grandchildren.

Answer 1

We have that Geraldine:

1. She has nine grandchildren.

2. She sent $30 to each of them.

3. She did this for the past five holiday seasons.

How much money has she gifted to her grandchildren?

For each season, she gave them a total of:

$30 * 9 = $270

For the total of the five seasons, we need to multiply the previous result by 5. Then:

T = $270 * 5 ---> T =$1350.

Then, she has gifted her grandchildren a total of $1350 in the past 5 seasons.
