Question

Felicity bought 3 shirts for $15 each and a pair of shoes for $25. Felicity used this equation to find x, the amount of money she spent.

x = (3 x 15) + 25

How much money did Felicity spend on her shirts and shoes?

Answer 1

x=70

How I got it:

3X15=45

45+25=70

Answer 2

x= 70

Explanation:

In this question you have to use BODMAS. This indicates that you have to do the equation in the brackets first. Therefore, 3x15= 45. Then you add 25, which will give you 70.
