Question

Valentina mailed a package and a card to her pen pal each month. Stamps for each package cost $2.15 and for each card cost $0.49. How much money did Valentina spend in 6 months? $

Answer 1

First, we have to find how much is being spent each month. Since she is mailing a stamp and a card, that is 2.15+0.49, which is 2.64. Now we multiply it by 6, because this happens for 6 months, to get 15.84. Therefore, in 6 months she spent $15.84.
