Derek spends $3 on breakfast and $5.50 on lunch every school day. How much does he spend on breakfast and lunch in a school week?

Thanks for the help!

5.50+3*5

I think "cheese luvas" means this:

(3+5.5)5

Otherwise, you'll end up with a very different (and incorrect) amount!

To find out how much Derek spends on breakfast and lunch in a school week, we need to find the total amount he spends each day and then multiply it by the number of school days in a week.

Derek spends $3 on breakfast and $5.50 on lunch every school day.

So, the total amount he spends each day is $3 + $5.50 = $8.50.

Now we need to find out how many school days are in a week. Assuming a standard 5-day school week (Monday to Friday), the number of school days in a week is 5.

To find the total amount Derek spends on breakfast and lunch in a school week, we multiply the amount he spends each day ($8.50) by the number of school days in a week (5).

Therefore, Derek spends $8.50 * 5 = $42.

So, Derek spends $42 on breakfast and lunch in a school week.
