Question

An office supply store sells 128 pens in each bag. A business bought 9 bags of pens one month and 7 bags of pens the next month. How many pens total did the business buy?
A. 2,304 pens
B. 2,048 pens
C. 6,712 pens
D. 7,764 pens

Answer 1

The Business bought a total of 2048 pens.

Easiest way to solve this is to add the amount of bags the business bought.

7 + 9 = 16

After you find to total amount of bags bought you multiply the amount of pens in each bag by the total amount of bags the business bought.

16 * 128 = 2048
