Question

Carl King is a toy assembler. He is paid $5.25 for every toy he assembles. What is Carl's total pay for a week in which he completes 207 toys?

Answer 1

Carl's total pay for a week is $1,086.75.

Explanation:

Carl King, a toy assembler is paid for every toy he assembles = $5.25

In a week he assembles = 207 toys

To find Carl's total pay for a week we multiply the total number of toys he made to the payment of one toy.

Therefore,

207 × 5.25 = $1,086.75

Carl's total pay for a week is $1,086.75.

Answer 2

Multiplication was invented to help you avoid the tedium of adding ...

... $5.25 + 5.25 + 5.25 + ... + 5.25 . . . . . a total of 207 terms

It lets us figure such a sum by computing 207 × $5.25 = $1,086.75

Carl's pay for the week will be $1086.75.
