If someone had 56 dollars and then received three 20 dollar bills, you can calculate the total amount as follows:
- Start with the initial amount: 56 dollars.
- Calculate the amount from the three 20 dollar bills: 3 × 20 = 60 dollars.
- Add the two amounts together: 56 + 60 = 116 dollars.
So, they would have a total of 116 dollars.
