A shirt costs $15. A pair of sneakers costs four times as much. How much does the pair of sneakers cost? A hat is as much as the sneakers, so how much does the hat cost? If Ken buys one hat, one pair of sneakers, and two shirts, how much has he spent?
15 * 4 = $60 for sneakers
$60 for a hat
60 + 60 + (2 * 15) = ?
I am really not sure but I think it's $135
To find the cost of the pair of sneakers, we can start by noting that the shirt costs $15. We are told that the sneakers cost four times as much as the shirt. So, we multiply $15 by 4 to find the cost of the sneakers:
$15 x 4 = $60
Therefore, the pair of sneakers costs $60.
We are also told that the hat costs as much as the sneakers. So, the cost of the hat is also $60.
Now, to calculate how much Ken has spent, we need to add up the costs of everything he purchased. Let's break it down:
- Two shirts: Each shirt costs $15, so 2 shirts cost $15 x 2 = $30.
- One pair of sneakers: The sneakers cost $60.
- One hat: The hat also costs $60.
Finally, we add up these amounts:
$30 (shirts) + $60 (sneakers) + $60 (hat) = $150
Therefore, Ken has spent $150 in total.
