Rhea sold 6 boxes of blueberry muffins and 8 boxes of corn muffins at the bake sale. Each box contained 18 muffins. The muffins cost $0.50 each. What is the total amount raised by the sale of the muffins?

Also if you can (you don't have to), would you mind including an estimate?

6 boxes of blueberry muffins and 8 boxes of corn muffins

Since we know that each box has 18 muffins, we can multiply both 6 and 8 to determine the amount of muffins present

6 • 18 = 108 blueberry muffins
8 • 18 = 144 corn muffins

To determine the price, you multiply each type of muffin by 0.50 as each muffin is worth $0.50

108 • 0.50 = 54
144 • 0.50 = 72

You add these two together to get the price

54 + 72 = $126

If you explain what the estimate is, if I didn’t answer that along the way, I can help answer it for you.
