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?

1 answer

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: \[ \boxed{121.55} \]
