Question

Yolanda will be travelling out of town for business. During her travel, she is scheduled to have 4 dinners, 5 lunches, and 3 breakfasts. Her employer will pay her

for these meals at the following rate:
$21.50 for dinner, $12.15 for lunch, and $5.73 for breakfast.
What is the total amount Yolanda will be paid for these meals?

Answer 1

$163.94

Explanation:

Dinners

Yolanda will have 4 dinners and each dinner costs $21.50

Multiply 4 and 21.50

⇒ 4 * 21.50

⇒ 86 = $86

Lunches

She will have 5 lunches that each cost $12.15

Multiply 5 and 12.15

⇒ 5*12.15

⇒ 60.75 = $60.75

Breakfasts

Yolanda is going to have 3 breakfasts at $5.73 for each breakfast.

Multiply 3 and 5.73

⇒ 3*5.73

⇒ 17.19 = $17.19

Find the total. Add the cost for dinners, lunches and breakfasts together.

$86 + $60.75 + $17.19

$163.94

Yolanda will be paid $163.94 for the meals.

Answer 2

$163.94

Explanation:

4 dinners at $21.50 each

5 lunches at $12.15 each

3 breakfasts at $5.73 each

4 • 21.50 = $86

5 • 12.15 = $60.75

3 • 5.73 = $17.19

86 + 60.75 + 17.19 = 163.94
