Question

Multi-Step Max's school bought boxes of

pencils. Each box holds 12 pencils. The fourth
grade classes need 25 boxes. The fifth grade
classes need 22 boxes. How many pencils are
needed by both grades?

Answer 1

564 pencils

Explanation:

1 box = 12 pencils

25 boxes = 25 × 12 pencils = 300 pencils

22 boxes = 22 × 12 pencils = 264 pencils

300 + 264 = 564 pencils
