6 ping pong balls and a new bat.

If the bat costs
$
15
$15 and the ping pong balls cost
50
50 cents each, how much did Alberto pay in total?

Answer 1

To find out how much Alberto paid in total, we need to calculate the cost of the ping pong balls and then add the cost of the bat.

1. **Cost of the ping pong balls**:
- The pack contains 6 ping pong balls, and each ball costs 50 cents.
- Cost of 6 ping pong balls = 6 balls × 0.50 dollars/ball = 3 dollars.

2. **Cost of the bat**:
- The bat costs $15.

3. **Total cost**:
- Total cost = Cost of ping pong balls + Cost of bat
- Total cost = $3 + $15 = $18.

Thus, Alberto paid **$18** in total.
