Question

A middle school is having a fundraiser. Edwin wants to buy two candles for $5.95 each, three cans of candy for $2.50 each, and an ornament for $7.95.

Answer 1

$27.35

Explanation:

To solve this, we just set up an equation based on the situation given:

2 candles for 5.95 each would be (2 x 5.95)

3 cans of candy for 2.50 each would be (3 x 2.50)

1 ornament for 7.95 would just be 7.95

(2 x 5.95) + (3 x 2.50) + 7.95 = total cost

11.90 + 7.50 + 7.95 = total cost

$27.35 = total cost
