$= $ 292.50$ $=$292.50$

Summarise the information that is given first.

She needs the storage for 6 months.

$1$ $1$ month at $$ 55 and 5$ $$55 and 5$ months at $$ 47.50$ $$47.50$

Now you can do the calculations:

$1 \times 55 + 5 \times 47.50$ $1 xx 55 + 5 xx47.50$

$= 55 + 237.50$ $= 55 + 237.50$

$= $ 292.50$ $=$292.50$
