Question

Mr. Indigo purchased some trees to plant in his backyard. He bought three oak trees for $23 each and an elm tree for $42. What was the total cost of the trees?

Answer 1

Total cost = $111

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of oak tree = 3

Total number of elm tree = 1

Each oak tree cost = $23

Each elm tree cost = $42

Find:

Total cost

Computation:

Total cost = 3[Each oak tree cost] + 1[Each elm tree cost]

Total cost = 3[23] + 1[42]

Total cost = 69 + 42

Total cost = $111
