Question

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?

Please help me (and thanks if you are, I very much appreciate it :))

Answer 1

$126.00

Explanation:

1 you Multiply .50×18=9

so the ratio is 9 per box

you add 6+8=14 and then 14×9=126

Answer 2

The answer is $126.00.

First, you want to add together how many boxes of muffins she sold (8+6= 14)

Then, you need to multiply the amount of boxes by how many muffins are in each box (18*14 = 252)

Lastly, you multiply the amount of muffins sold by how much each muffin cost (252*0.50 = 126)

And that’s how you get $126.00.
