Question

The senior class had 100 T-shirts to sell to raise money. They sold 52 T-shirts at $7.75 each. Then they sold the rest for $9.25 each. How much money did they collect overall?

$775.00
$847.00
$925.00
$853.00

Answer 1

The answer is B: 847

Explanation:

52 x 7.75 = 403

100 - 52 = 48

48 x 9.25 = 444

444 + 403 = 847

Answer 2

$847.00

Explanation:

First you multiply 52 by $7.75

This gives you $403

Then you subtract 52 from 100 to find the remainder of shirts

This gives you 48

So then you multiply 48 by $9.25

This gives you $444

Then you add $444 and $403 giving you $847.00
