Question

At a snack stand, a milkshake costs $1.49, a cheeseburger costs $3.29, and an order of curly fries costs $2.79. Hong is going to buy this meal for 9 different people. What is the total amount it will cost him?

Answer 1

$69.13

Explanation:

First we need to add the prices for 1 meal:

$1.49 + $3.29 + $2.79 = $7.57

Then we multiply it by 9 for the price of 9 meals:

$7.57 × 9 = $69.13

Answer 2

Explanation:

At a snack stand, a milkshake costs $1.49. If Hong is going to buy this meal for 9 different people, the total cost would be

1.49 × 9 = $13.41

A cheeseburger costs $3.29. The cost for 9 people would be

9 × 3.29 = $29.61

an order of curly fries costs $2.79. The cost for 9 people would be

9 × 2.79 = $25.11

Therefore, the total cost of buying

milkshakes, cheeseburgers and curly fries for 9 different people would be

13.41 + 29.61 + 25.11 = $68.13
