Question

you are planning to open a candy stand with your friends. you will need to buy 20 candy bars at a wholesale cost of $.30 each. you will need to buy 15 lollipops at a cost of $.05 each. How much money will you spend ALL TOGETHER?

its pretty confusing :(

and this one:
for a dinner for 36, mrs. Falk ordered 10 square tables. Each table can sit one person on a side. if the tables are pushed together to make one long table, how many people can sit at the long table?

Can you explain me this one too???

Answer 1

20 * 0.30 = $6.00

15 * 0.05 = $0.75

Add those two numbers together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

8 tables will seat 2 people each. 2 tables will each seat 3 people. Ten tables isn't enough.

Answer 2

20* .3 + 15 * .05

= 6 + .75 = 6.75
============================
the middle 8 tables only seat 2 but the two end tables seat 3
8*2 + 2*3
= 16 + 6
= 22

Answer 3

Thanks for the first question
but I don't know what you mean for the 2nd one

Answer 4

Thanks you two! you don't know how much this means to me.

Answer 5

Draw a sketch of the ten tables in a row.
Only two people can sit at the middle ones because the ends are up against the next tables.
for the two tables on the end, the usual two can sit plus one on each end of the whole line
