Question

Ali and Janet are selling gifts at a local craft show. For every bar of soap that Ali sells, she earns $5. For every mug that Janet sells, she earns twice as much as Ali. Ali sells 5 bars of soap, and Janet sells 7 mugs. How much money did they make altogether?

Answer 1

Explanation:

For every bar of soap that Ali sells, she earns $5. For every mug that Janet sells, she earns twice as much as Ali. This means that the amount that Janet earns for each mug she sells is 5 × 2 = $10

Ali sells 5 bars of soap. This means that the total amount that Ali earned is 5 × 5 = $25

Janet sells 7 mugs. This means that the total amount that Janet earned is 7 × 10 = $70

Therefore, the amount that they earned altogether is

25 + 70 = $95

Answer 2

95$

Explanation:

Alli sells 5 bars, for each bar she earnd 5$ so she earns 5*5=25$

Janet sells 7 mugs, and for every mug she earns 10$ (twice then Alli), so she earns 7*10=70$

Together: 25+70=95$
