Question

Jessica bought 4 packages of birthday invitations for 16.95 per package including tax each package contained 12 birthday invitations one stamp coast 0.44 she plans to split the cost evenly with her mother how much money will Jessica mother need to give to Jessica

Answer 1

Jessica's mum will give her 44.46

Explanation:

To solve this, we will first of all need to get the total cost of sending the birthday invitations across. After that, we can now split the cost into two.

Cost of sending birthday invitations:

Package cost = 16.95

Number of packages bought = 4

total sum spent on packages = 4 X 16.95 = 67.8

Each package contains 12 invitations.

There are 4 packages.

Total number of invitations = 12 X 4 = 48 invitations

One stamp cost 0.44.

Putting stamps on all 48 invitations will cost 0.44 X 48 = 21.12

Therefore the total cost will be the total sum spent on packages +the total sum spent on stamps = 67.8 + 21.12 = 88.92

Her mum has agreed to pay half of this cost which is 88.92 / 2 = 44.46
