Answer 1

It would be $6.38 x 3 + $2.50
$19.14 + $2.50
$21.64

Answer 2

Answer: The total cost is $21.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to multiply the price of each pair of earrings (6.38) by the number of pairs bought (3)

Mathematically speaking:

$6.38 x 3 = $19.14

Then we have to add the shipping cost ($2.50)

$19.14+$2.50 = $21.64

The total cost is $21.64.
