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.
