Answer 1

Answer:

Abby's mother spent $9.75 for the classroom not including tax.

Step-by-step explanation:

Know:

5 bags for 1 dollar

10 candy bars for 50 cents

3 whistles for 75 cents

5×6=30

10×3=30

3×10=30

1. 5 times 6 is thirty. So find the product of 6 and 1 which is 6. 6 is the overall cost of bags.
2. 10 times 3 is 30. So find the product of 3 and .50 which is 1.50. 1.50 dollars is the overall cost of candy bars.
3. 3 times 10 is 30. You then find the product of 3 and .75. The product of this is 2.25 which is the total cost of whistles.
4. Next you add all the values together which are 6.00 + 1.50 + 2.25 this equals $9.75
