At the book sale, board books are$1.50 and soft cover books are 0.50.

Question

True or false: Santiago bought 10 board books and 5 soft cover books for exactly $20.
true
false

Answer 1

To determine if Santiago bought 10 board books and 5 soft cover books for exactly $20, we can calculate the total cost.

The cost of 10 board books: \(10 \times 1.50 = 15.00\)

The cost of 5 soft cover books: \(5 \times 0.50 = 2.50\)

Now sum the costs: \(15.00 + 2.50 = 17.50\)

The total cost of the books is $17.50, not $20.

Therefore, the statement is false.
