Question

Connor bought 40 pencils for $0.35 each. Mara bought 70 pencils at the same price. How much more money did Mara spend?

Answer 1

She spent $10.50 more than Connor.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply 40x0.35 you get 14, then multiply 0.35x70 which gets you 24.5, then subtract 14 from 24.5 and you get 10.50.
