Question

Dominic's two daughters both want to take gymnastics this year. It costs $87 per month per child. How much does Dominic need to budget for a year ( 12 months) of gymnastics for both daughters? Do not include the dollar sign in your answer

Answer 1

Since the cost per month per child is $87, we can first start by multiplying this cost by 2, since he has 2 daughters.

`87\cdot2=174`

Now, the $174 cost is the cost per month, but taking both daughters into account.

To get the full budget, we can now multiply by the number of months, which is 12:

`174\cdot12=2088`

So, the total budget is $2088. Since the question ask to not include the dollar sign, it is just 2088.
