Explanation:

Amaya went to the pet store. She bought x fish for $3.50 each. She bought fish food for $7.00, and a fish bowl for $12.75. Determine how much Amaya spent at the pet store if she bought 4 fish.

Step 1

We calculate the total amount spent on 1 fish

= Cost of fish + Cost of food + Cost if bowl

= $3.50 + $7.00 + $12.75

= $23.25

Step 2

The total amount spent on 4 fishes is calculated as

= $23.25 × 4 fishes

= $93
