question

Roxanne went to the art museum with her class. At the gift shop, she bought 3 abstract art magnets for $3.75 each. She also bought a poster of her favorite gothic painting for $16.50. How much money did Roxanne spend at the gift shop?

solution

You want to find how much money Roxanne spent at the gift shop.

First, find the cost of the 3 magnets. Since each magnet cost the same amount, multiply.

The 3 magnets cost $11.25.

Then, add the cost of the poster to the cost of the 3 magnets.

Roxanne spent $27.75 at the gift shop.
