Question

You want new picture frames that cost $12 each. Shipping is $8 per order. If you buy 15 frames, what is the cost of the order?

Answer 1

$188

Explanation:

Answer 2

Each frame costs $12. Since you are ordering 15 frames, the price of the frames is 15 * $12 = $180.
Shipping is $8 for the entire order, not for each frame, so just add $8 to the price of the frames.
$180 + $8 = $188
Answer: The total cost of the order is $188.
