Gerry spends $1.25 each day on lunch at school. On Friday's, she buys an extra snack for $0.55. How much money will she spend in two weeks

Answer 1

Gerry will spend $13.6 in two weeks

Further Explanation

From the problem given:

Gerry spend $1.25/day on lunch

Fridays spend extra $0.55

How much Gerry will spend in two weeks?

In one week, there are 5 school days

4 days (Monday to Thursday) Gerry spend $1.25/day

1 day, Fridays, Gerry spends $1.25+$0.55 = $1.80

So, in one week Gerry will spend :

= $\boxed {(1.25 \times4) + 1.80\ }\\ =\boxed {5+1.80\ }\\ =\boxed {6.8\ }$

In two weeks, Gerry will spend :

$=\boxed {2 \times 6.8\ }\\ =\boxed {13.6\ }$

When we are multiplying decimal numbers, the process the same as multiplying whole numbers except for the placement of the decimal point in the answer. In multiplying we don't need to line up the decimal point.
