Question

You're a detective who just filed a report of a burglary. You've gone over the stolen items with the householder victim, John Day. John Day tells you he can't find his watch valued at 375 dollars. His wife is missing a ruby pendant valued at 850 dollars, and there was cash on hand, also missing, of 200 dollars. What is the total value of the stolen items and cash combined?

Answer 1

$1425

Explanation:

To calculate the total value of the stolen items and cash combined, we need to add up the values of each item: 1. John Day's missing watch is valued at $375. 2. His wife's missing ruby pendant is valued at $850. 3. The cash on hand that went missing is $200. To find the total value, we simply add up these amounts: $375 (value of the missing watch) + $850 (value of the missing pendant) + $200 (missing cash) = $1425. Therefore, the total value of the stolen items and cash combined is $1425.
