Question

Chase purchased large bags of potting soil to replenish his garden. Chase purchased 6 bags at $2.49 each and 2 bags at $6.89 each. How much was Chase's total purchase?

Answer 1

Answer: $28.72

Explanation:

If Chase bought 6 bags at $2.49

you have to multiply 6 x 2.49= 14.94

Then he bought 2 bags at 6.89

you have to multiply 2 x 6.89 = 13.78

Finally, you have to add them together

13.78 + 14.94 = 28.72

He spent $28.72

Answer 2

$28.72

Explanation:

(6x2.49) + (2x6.89)
