Question

Daniel bought four salads at the local super market. Each salad cost $5.49. The following equation models the situation: 5.49×4=21.96 . What does the 21.96 represent?

Answer 1

21.96 represents the total cost of four salads.

Explanation:

The entire equation represents the product of salad quantity and salad price, which equals the total cost:

Salad quantity * salad price = total cost

Since one salad costs $5.49 and Daniel bought four, the 21.96 represents the total cost of four salads.
