Melanie has decided to run for president of her science club. She would like to purchase colorful rubber bracelets that say, “Melanie for President!” She plans to pass out these colorful bracelets at the next meeting. There are twenty bracelets in each package. Each bracelet costs $3.50. How much will Melanie have to pay if she purchases two packages of colorful bracelets?(1 point) x= $

Answer 1

That is wrong

Answer 2

Melanie will have to pay $7 if she purchases two packages of colorful bracelets because 2 x 3.50 = <<2*3.50=7>>7. Answer: \boxed{7}.

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake.

If there are twenty bracelets in each package, and Melanie wants to purchase two packages, she would have a total of 20 x 2 = <<20*2=40>>40 bracelets.
Since each bracelet costs $3.50, Melanie would have to pay a total of 40 x $3.50 = $<<40*3.50=140>>140.

Therefore, Melanie would have to pay $140 if she purchases two packages of colorful bracelets.
