Question

Lee will buy 3 notebooks for $1.29 each, 2 dozen pencils at $3.45 a dozen, and a box of pens for $14.85 a box. How much will Lee spend on his school supplies? *

Answer 1

Answer:

$25.62 on school supplies

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation (1.29*3) + (3.45*2) + 14.85

1: Solve 1.29*3 to get 3.87

2: Solve 3.45*2 to get 6.90

3: Add the numbers 3.87, 6.90, and 14.85 together to get 25.62

Answer 2

Answer:

If 3 notebooks are 1.29 each,

that’s 3.87 on notebooks.

two dozen pencils at 3.45 a dozen is 6.90.

add 3.87, 6.90, and 14.85 for a total of $25.62.

While Lee’s estimate was reasonable, it was a bit short.
