Question

Jenn buys a pair of jeans for $24.99. Her friend Karen spends $3.50 more for the same pair of jeans. Vicki paid the same price as Karen for the jeans but bought 2 pairs. How much did Vicki spend?

Answer 1

In order to find how much Vicki spent, you have to add $24.99 and $3.50. That's $28.49. Then you have to multiply $28.49 by 2. That's $56.98. That's your answer.

Answer 2

Jenn buys a pair of jeans for $24.99.
Karen spends $3.50 more for the same pair of jeans.
Vicki paid the same price as Karen for the jeans but bought two pairs.

24.99 + 3.50 = 28.49
Karen spent $28.49 for her pair of jeans.

Vicki paid the same price but bought two pairs.
28.49 + 28.49 = 56.98

Vicki spent $56.98. I hope this helped you!
