Answer: $210.75

Explanation: You multiply the price of the object by how many they buy.
So for the beams you calculate 3 x 45.25 and get 135.75. For the screws you multiply 6 x 12.50 and that equals 75. Then, for the total price you add the two together, so 135.75 + 75 = 210.75

Another way to do it is (3 x 45.25) + (6 x 12.50) = 210.75
