Answer:
111.60
Question:
Ania bought two books in a bookstore and paid 37.20, and Jurek paid three times more for his. How much did Jurek pay?
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question on multiplying decimals by natural numbers.
Number if books bought by Ania = 2
Cost for the two books = 37.20
Jurek paid = 3 times the amount Ania paid
Amount Jurek paid = 3×37.20
To multiply decimals with whole numbers, first multiply without the decimals
3×3720 = 11160
3 has no decimal place
37.20 has 2 decimal place
Therefore the answer would be in two decimal place = 111.60
So 3× 37.2= 111.60
