A man bought 3 pairs of shoes at £89.95 a pair and a tie for £14.95. How much did he pay altogether?
To find out how much the man paid altogether, we need to calculate the sum of the cost of the three pairs of shoes and the tie.
First, let's calculate the total cost of the three pairs of shoes:
3 pairs of shoes at £89.95 each = 3 * £89.95 = £269.85
Next, let's calculate the cost of the tie which is £14.95.
Now, we can find the total amount paid by adding the costs of the shoes and the tie together:
Total cost = £269.85 + £14.95 = £284.80
Therefore, the man paid a total of £284.80 altogether.
To find out how much the man paid altogether, we need to calculate the total cost of the shoes and the tie separately and then add them together.
Calculating the cost of the shoes:
There are 3 pairs of shoes, and each pair costs £89.95. So, the total cost of the shoes is 3 * £89.95 = £269.85.
Calculating the cost of the tie:
The cost of the tie is given as £14.95.
Adding the cost of the shoes and the tie together:
£269.85 (shoes) + £14.95 (tie) = £284.80.
Therefore, the man paid a total of £284.80 altogether.
