Answer 1

$81.90

Explanation:

You can add or multiply either way let me show you:

Add:

24.95 + 24.95

12.50

3.25 + 3.25 + 3.25 + 3.25 + 3.25 + 3.25

After that add

49.9 + 12.5 + 19.5

this equals

$81.90

or you could do

24.95 x 2 + 12.50 + 3.25 x 6

after that muliply

49.9 + 12.5 + 19.5

now add.... this equals

$81.90
