The soccer team sells 54 bagels with cream cheese for $2 each and 36 muffins for $1 each during a bake sale. The coach uses the bake sale money to buy socks for the 14 players at $6 a pair. How much money does the coach have left? Explain how you found your answer
A. $60
B.First, I found the total amount raised selling bagels with cream cheese and muffins: $2 × 54 = $108 Then, I found the total amount raised by selling muffins. $1 × 36 = $36.
C.I added the total amount raised from selling bagels with cream cheese to the total amount raised selling muffins. $108 + $36 = $144.
D.Then, I found the cost of the socks for the players: $6 ×14 = $84. Finally, I subtracted the cost of the socks from the total amount raised. $144 − $84 = $60.
$60 is correct. :)
B C D are correct except A
The correct answer is A. $60.
To find the answer, you need to calculate the total amount raised from selling the bagels with cream cheese and muffins, and then subtract the cost of the socks.
First, let's find the total amount raised from selling bagels with cream cheese:
The team sold 54 bagels with cream cheese for $2 each, so the total amount raised from selling bagels with cream cheese is calculated by multiplying the number of bagels sold by the price per bagel:
$2 x 54 = $108
Next, let's find the total amount raised from selling muffins:
The team sold 36 muffins for $1 each, so the total amount raised from selling muffins is calculated by multiplying the number of muffins sold by the price per muffin:
$1 x 36 = $36
Now, let's find the total amount raised from both bagels with cream cheese and muffins:
To calculate the total amount raised, add together the amounts raised from selling bagels with cream cheese and muffins:
$108 + $36 = $144
Next, let's determine the cost of the socks for 14 players:
The coach buys socks for 14 players at $6 per pair, so the total cost of the socks is calculated by multiplying the number of pairs of socks by the cost per pair:
$6 x 14 = $84
Finally, let's find the amount of money the coach has left:
To find the amount of money the coach has left, subtract the cost of the socks from the total amount raised:
$144 - $84 = $60
Therefore, the coach has $60 left.
