Question

Jesus purchased cookies for a party. He bought 11 cookies for $.51 each and 12 cookies for $.62. How much money did he spend on cookies?

Answer 1

`13.05` spent altogether

Explanation:

Work out how much he spent on each type of cookie separately first and then add the amounts together:

`11` cookies @ `$0.51` means: `11 xx $0.51 = $5.61`

`12` cookies@ `$0.62` means: `12 xx $0.62 = $7.44`

In total he spent: `$5.61+$7.44 = $13.05`
