Question

Mr. Kim needs to buy 3 plane tickets for him, his wife & their 2 children at $259 for each person. How much will he spend on all of their plane tickets?

Answer 1

Answer:
`\$3108`

Explanation:

Mr. Kim, his wife and two children are 4 persons. Now, he needs to buy 3 plane tickets for each one, which means he has to buy 12 plane tickets:

`(3 tickets)(4)=12 tickets`

On the other hand, we know each ticket costs
`\$259` per person. So, if we have 12 tickets to buy, we will have to multiply
`\$259` by 12:

`(12)(\$259)=\$3108` This is the amount Mr. Kim will spend in the plane tickets
