Question

The price of jeans was reduced $6 per week for 7 weeks. By how much did the price of the jeans change over the 7 weeks?

Answer 1

The price dropped by forty two dollars. We can work this out by simply multiplying six, the number that we know the jeans were reduced by each week, by seven, the number of weeks that the jeans continued to reduce in price for. Six times seven is of course forty two.
