Question

Brennen bought some school supplies at the store. He bought a box of crayons, a box of colored pencils, 2 boxes of markers, 3 notebooks, and a new book bag. Each notebook cost $3, and each box of crayons, colored pencils, and markers cost $29. How much, in total, did Brennen spend?

a) $188
b) $243
c) $292
d) $305

Answer 1

Brennen spent a total of $67.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total amount Brennen spent, we need to find the sum of the cost of each item. Each notebook costs $3, so 3 notebooks will cost 3 x $3 = $9. Each box of crayons, colored pencils, and markers costs $29, so 2 boxes of markers will cost 2 x $29 = $58. The new book bag does not have a given price, so we cannot include it in the total cost.

The total amount Brennen spent is $9 + $58 = $67.
