Question

Freddie needs to buy 3 dozen cookies for a party. The first 20 cookies cost $0.27 each. The rest cost $0.17 each.

How much will Freddie spend on cookies?
$2.72
$5.40
$8.12
$9.72

Answer 1

$8.12 is the total amount Freddie will spend on the cookies.

Explanation:

3 dozen = 36 cookies

20 x $0.27= $5.4

we still need 16 more cookies

16 x $0.17= $2.72

add $5.4 and $2.72 together. which = $8.12
