Question

5) Adam bought 5 DVDs that cost $12.95
each. How much did Adam spend
before taxes?

Answer 1

64.75

Explanation:

So you have 5 DVDs bought and 12.95 for each.

12.95 x 5

12.95 + 12.95 = 25.90

25.90 + 12.95 = 38.85

38.85 + 12.95 = 51.80

51.80 + 12.95 = 64.75

So your answer is $64.75

Answer 2

$64.75

Explanation:

You can add $12.95 five times:

$12.95 +12.95 +12.95 +12.95 +12.95 = spending

but it is probably easier to use multiplication:

5 × $12.95 = spending = $64.75

Adam spent $64.75.
