Question

Volunteers at Sam's school use some of the student council's savings for a special project. They buy 8 backpacks for $9 each and fill each backpack with paper and pens that cost $3. By how much did the school council's savings change because of this project?

Answer 1

8 x $9 = $72.00

8 x $3 = $24.00

$72.00 + $24.00 = $96.00

savings changed by $96.00
