Question

Carlos bought one pair of shoes for $19.95, two neckties for $3.95 each, three pairs of socks for $1.25
a pair, and one suit for $89.95. What was the total cost?

Answer 1

To find the total cost of all the items Carlos purchased, we will calculate the cost of each item separately and then add them together.

1. **Cost of shoes**:
\[
1 \text{ pair of shoes} = 19.95
\]

2. **Cost of neckties**:
\[
2 \text{ neckties} = 2 \times 3.95 = 7.90
\]

3. **Cost of socks**:
\[
3 \text{ pairs of socks} = 3 \times 1.25 = 3.75
\]

4. **Cost of the suit**:
\[
1 \text{ suit} = 89.95
\]

Now, let's sum all these costs together:
\[
\text{Total cost} = 19.95 + 7.90 + 3.75 + 89.95
\]

Calculating it step-by-step:
\[
19.95 + 7.90 = 27.85
\]
\[
27.85 + 3.75 = 31.60
\]
\[
31.60 + 89.95 = 121.55
\]

Thus, the total cost is:
\[
\boxed{121.55}
\]
