Question

Ethan bought 2 action figures for

$25 each at a science fiction fair. He
won an auction for a plastic sword,
and he got a deal on 5 comic books
for $9 each. He spent $102 altogether.
How much did Ethan pay for the
plastic sword?

Answer 1

Ethan paid 2 * $25 = $50 for the action figures.

The comic books cost 5 * $9 = $45.

So, Ethan paid $50 + $45 = $95 for the action figures and comic books.

The plastic sword cost $102 - $95 = $7.

So the answer is 7
