Al and Barb both go to the store to buy school supplies, Al buys 11 colored pencils for $0.69 each, and Barb buys 3 packs of folders for $2.70 per pack. Who spent more at the store? explain.

Sagot :

Barb spent more because, he bought the folders for more than what Al has bought the colored pencils for, but it all totals out to him for $8.10 and Barb spent $7.59. Since Al spent $7.59 total and Barb spent $8.10 total, Barb spent more money on those folders.
Barb spent 7.59 because that is what 11 x 0.69 equals
AL spent 8.10 because that is what 2.70 x 3 equals

so therefore Al spent more money
