Explain your answer and show your work.

Answer 1

They need $910 in total for all the supplies but they only have $890.20, so no they don’t have enough.

Explanation:

30 pieces of plywood x $25.00 per ply wood = 30 x 25= 750

20 packs of bricks x $2 per brick= 20 x 2= 40

6 pack of screws x $20 per pack = 6 x 20= 120

750 + 40 + 120= 910
