Sue is planning a shopping trip to get holiday gifts for her friends and family. She decides to get each person a $20 restaurant gift card. She also wants to pick up some more toys for her dog, which will cost $17 in all.

Question

How much money can Sue expect to spend if she shops for 6 people and her dog?
$ _________

Answer 1

To calculate how much money Sue can expect to spend, we first need to calculate the cost of the gift cards for her 6 friends and family members.

The cost of the gift cards is: \[ 6 \text{ people} \times 20 \text{ dollars/person} = 120 \text{ dollars} \]

Next, we add the cost of the toys for her dog: \[ 120 \text{ dollars} + 17 \text{ dollars} = 137 \text{ dollars} \]

Therefore, the total amount Sue can expect to spend is: \[ \text{$137} \]
