Question

Mr. Dobson bought 1,000 stamps for his business. If each stamp costs 37 cents, how much did he spend altogether?

Answer 1

Hey there!

Assuming you would like the answer in dollars, first lets have the 37 cents be represented as 0.37.

Now, multiply 0.37 to 1000 to get 370 dollars, your answer.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Take the 37 cents per stamp and convert this into a decimal, which is essentially $.37 .
Take this decimal and multiply it by 1,000 which results in 370!!

Another method in doing this is taking the decimal .37 and moving the decimal point one place to the right, for every zero there is in the number 1,000. So the end result would be 370.
