Answer:

Ben spent $9.32 on stamps total

Explanation:

19x0.39= 7.41 because it says he bought 19 of these and they each cost $0.39 so you just multiply the two

8x0.24= 1.92 because of the same reason for the other it says he bought 8 of these and each costs $0.24 so you just multiply the two which gets you 1.92

next you add together the two totals of the stamps which is 7.41 and 1.92

7.41+1.92= 9.32
