Question

One case of books weighs 35 pounds. One case of magazines weighs 23 pounds.A book store wants to ship 72 cases of books and 94 cases of magazines to another store. What is the total weight of the shipment

Answer 1

Shipment = 72 cases of books + 94 cases of magazines
1 case of books = 35 pounds
1 case of magazines = 23 pounds

Shipment = 72 × 35 + 94 × 23 pounds

72 × 35 = 2520
94 × 23 = 2162

Shipment = 2520 + 2162 pounds

Shipment = 4682 pounds
