Question

Tom has a part-time job. On Wednesday, Tom earned $20.50, and on

Thursday he earned $36.21. On Friday, Tom earned twice as much as he
did on Wednesday. How much did Tom earn altogether for the three days?

Answer 1

97.71

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: $20.50 + $36.21

Explanation:

$20.50 (Wednesday) + $36.21 (Thursday) = $56.71 Since Tom is getting twice as much he did on Wednesday ($20.50), we'll be doing this: $20.50 x 2 (which equals 41 or $41.00) and add it to $56.71

$56.71 + $41.00 = $97.71 So, this means that Tom earned $97.71 altogether for three days
