Question

Volunteers at Sam's school use some of

the student council's savings for a special
project. They buy 7 backpacks for $8 each
and fill each backpack with paper and pens
that cost $5. By how much did the student
council's savings change because of this
project?

Answer 1

$91

Explanation:

They bought 7 backpacks each costing $8. Multiply them together to get $56. They filled each with $5 worth of supplies. 7 * 5 = 35. $56 + $35 = $91
