Answer 2

the teacher had 503 dominoes for the game.

Explanation:

In order to find the answer, first you have to find the amount of dominoes the teacher purchased by multiplying the number of packs for the number of dominoes in each pack:

7*55=385

Now, since the stament indicates that the teacher already had 118 dominoes to use in the game, you have to add this amount to the number of dominoes that were purchased:

385+118=503

According to this, the answer is that the teacher had 503 dominoes for the game.
