How much money did Rusty make in all?
53.00
24.00
264.00
282.00
Rusty made:
8 birdhouses x $15 each = $<<8*15=120>>120
6 mailboxes x $24 each = $<<6*24=144>>144
Total money made: $120 + $144 = $<<120+144=264>>264
Therefore, Rusty made $264 in all. The correct answer is 264.
To calculate how much money Rusty made in total, we need to calculate the amount he made from selling the birdhouses and the mailboxes separately and then add those amounts together.
The amount Rusty made from selling the birdhouses is calculated by multiplying the number of birdhouses sold (8) by the price per birdhouse ($15):
8 birdhouses * $15 per birdhouse = $<<8*15=120>>120
The amount Rusty made from selling the mailboxes is calculated by multiplying the number of mailboxes sold (6) by the price per mailbox ($24):
6 mailboxes * $24 per mailbox = $<<6*24=144>>144
To find the total amount, we need to add the two amounts together:
$120 (birdhouses) + $144 (mailboxes) = $<<120+144=264>>264
Therefore, Rusty made $264 in total.
