Question

The baseball coach bought 2 new baseballs for $2 each. The basketball coach bought 6 new basketballs for $13 each. How much more did the basketball coach spend than the baseball coach?​

Answer 1

The basketball coach spent 80 dollars more than the baseball coach

Answer 2

Explanation:

Since the baseball coach bought two new baseballs for $2 each, multiply 2x2.

2 x 2 = 4

The basketball coach purchased 6 new basketballs $13 each. So, multiply

13 x 6.

13 x 6 = 78.

since you want to figure out how much more the basketball coach spent than the baseball coach, subtract the amount the baseball coach spent from the amount the basketball coach spent.

78 - 4 = 74.

so the basketball coach spent $74 dollars more than the baseball coach.
