Question

Volunteers at Sams school use some of the student councils savings for a special project.They buy 4 backpacks for $9 each and fill each backpack with paper and pens that cost $5.By how much did the student councils savings change because of this project?

Answer 1

Answer: The student councils savings change by $41.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of backpacks = 4

Cost of each backpack = $9

Paper and pen costs = $5

Total spending = (Number of backpacks ) x (Cost of each backpack ) + (Cost of paper and pen)

= $ (4 x 9 +5)

= $ 41

Hence, the student councils savings change by $41.
