Question

Toby, a toy store buyer, ordered 2 gross rubber spiders, 60 teddy bears, and 5 dozen video games. The spiders cost 7 cents each, the bears cost 59.76 dollars per dozen, and the video games were on sale for a special price—12 for 156 dollars. What was the total cost of Toby’s order, in dollars?

Answer 1

Rubber spider total cost:
7 × 2 gross (1 gross = 144 units)
7 cents x 288 = 2016 cents = $20.16

Total cost of teddy bear:
59.76 x (60÷12) (1 dozen = 12 units)
59.76 x 5 = $298.80

Total cost of video games:
156 x 5 = $780.00

Total spent:
780 + 298.80 + 20.16 = $1098.96
