His sum should be more than 48.
I know because if you throw away the decimal pieces
and just add up the whole numbers 45 and 3 ,
right there you would have 48 . So when you include
the decimal pieces, they'll make it even bigger.
Multiply $1.50 and 60%, which will give you 0.9. now multiply $1.50 and 0.9 and that'll give you$1.35. lastly, add $1.50 and $1.35 and that'll give you the answer which is $2.85.
I believe it is 1 wayyyyy
I had to answer a question similar to that one on Math XL. This question was about renting a truck instead of needing a 48 mile taxi. (Took me a long time just to find the truck question, but I am giving you the truck help me answer the question, in hopes that it will help you.)
The cost of renting a truck from Hamilton Auto Rental is $47.60 per day plus $0.15 per mile. The expression 47.60 plus 0.15 m represents the cost of renting a truck for one day and driving it m miles. Evaluate 47.60 plus 0.15 m for m equals 120.
Substitute the numerical value for each variable into the expression and simplify the result.
I am sorry if that didn't help you, but it was the closest thing I could find to use to help you.
The Answer is b. Hope that helps
