Janice is a seamstress, and the local dance studio hired her to make costumes for their upcoming recital. In one performance there are 15 dancers, and each costume will cost $19. How much will it cost for Janice to make costumes for the dance studio?

Question

x = $ ?

Answer 1

To find out the total cost of making costumes for the dance studio, you need to multiply the number of dancers by the cost of each costume.

Cost per costume = $19
Number of dancers = 15

Total cost = Cost per costume x Number of dancers
Total cost = $19 x 15
Total cost = $285

Therefore, it will cost Janice $285 to make costumes for the dance studio.
