Answer:

206 pounds

Explanation:

11 pound bags

To find the total number of pounds, multiply the number of pounds by the number of pounds in one bag.

bags*pounds

Abi bought 10 bags that each weighed 11 pounds.

10 bags*11 pounds

10*11

110

110 pounds

8 pounds bags

To find the total number of pounds, multiply the number of pounds by the number of pounds in one bag.

bags*pounds

She bought 12 bags that weighed 8 pounds each.

12 bags*8 pounds

12*8

96

96 pounds

Total

To find the final total, add together how many pounds of 11 pound bags she bough and how many pounds of 8 pound bags she bought.

pounds from 11 pound bags+pounds from 8 pound bags

She bought 110 pounds from 11 pound bags and 96 pounds from 8 pound bags.

110 pounds+96 pounds

110+98

206

She bought a total of 206 pounds
