Carson buys three pencils at $0.35 each, a box of crayons for $2.86, four notebooks at $1.99 each, and two pens at $1.09 each. Estimate the amount he spent on school supplies.

Respuesta :

(3 x .35$) + (2.86$) + (4 x 1.99$) + (2 x 1.09$)= 14.05$ please double check

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Carson buys three pencils at $0.35 each.

Cost of 1 pencil=$0.35

So, Cost of 3 pencils=$1.05    (0.35×3=1.05)

Buys a box of crayons for $2.86.

four notebooks at $1.99 each.

Cost of 1 notebook=$1.99

So, Cost of 4 notebooks=$7.96    (1.99×4=7.96)

and two pens at $1.09 each.

Cost of 1 pen=$1.09

So, Cost of 2 pens=$2.18  (1.09×2=2.18)

We have to estimate the amount he spent on school supplies.

Total Amount spent=$(1.05+2.86+7.96+2.18)

                               = $14.05

Hence, Total amount spent by Carson on school supplies is:

$14.05
