Luis bought 5 packages of candy and 5 bags of chips
Step-by-step explanation:
1.25 for candy
0.50 for chips
1.25c + 0.50c = 8.75
First I tried to see how many times I could multiply 1.25, the answer that made the most sense was 5 because not only is 5 + 5 = 10, but when it equals the amount of money. So I changed my equation:
The answer is -3, because the negative sign is outside of the absolute value. If the problem looked like this |-3|, then the answer would be 3. To clarify, your answer is -3.
