Edward is selling pencil sketches at an art festival. He has sold

Question

8 of his large
sketches and 6 of his small sketches. If he sells large sketches for $14.50 small sketches for $5.25, how much money has Edward earned?

Answer 1

Let's calculate the total earnings from the large sketches first:

8 large sketches sold x $14.50 per large sketch = $116

Now, let's calculate the total earnings from the small sketches:

6 small sketches sold x $5.25 per small sketch = $31.50

Finally, to find the total earnings, we add the earnings from large and small sketches:

$116 + $31.50 = $147.50

Edward has earned $147.50 from selling his sketches at the art festival.
