Question

Tickets to the game between the Houston Astros and the Boston Red Sox cost $22 each. Sam and Dave are going to the game. If they each purchase a baseball cap for $11.99, how much will they spend to attend the game?

Answer 1

Sam and Dave will each spend $22 on game tickets and $11.99 on baseball caps, resulting in a total expenditure of $67.98 for both to attend the game with caps.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the total amount Sam and Dave will spend to attend a baseball game, including the cost of tickets and baseball caps. First, we need to find the cost of the tickets for both Sam and Dave. Since tickets to the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox game cost $22 each, we will multiply the price of one ticket by two. Secondly, we will calculate the total cost of the baseball caps. They each plan to purchase a cap for $11.99 each, so we will also multiply this price by two. Finally, we will add the cost of the tickets and the cost of the caps to get the total amount spent.

Calculation:

1. Calculate tickets cost: $22 × 2 = $44
2. Calculate caps cost: $11.99 × 2 = $23.98
3. Add costs together for total: $44 + $23.98 = $67.98

Therefore, Sam and Dave will spend a total of $67.98 to attend the game and purchase their caps.
