To find out how much money Rusty made in total, we need to calculate the total amount earned from selling birdhouses and mailboxes separately, and then add those amounts together.
First, let's calculate the amount earned from selling birdhouses:
Rusty sold 8 birdhouses for $15 each. We can calculate the total amount earned by multiplying the number of birdhouses sold (8) by the price per birdhouse ($15):
Total amount earned from birdhouses = 8 x $15 = $120
Next, let's calculate the amount earned from selling mailboxes:
Rusty sold 6 mailboxes for $24 each. We can calculate the total amount earned by multiplying the number of mailboxes sold (6) by the price per mailbox ($24):
Total amount earned from mailboxes = 6 x $24 = $144
Now, let's add the amounts earned from selling birdhouses and mailboxes together:
Total amount earned = $120 + $144 = $264
Therefore, Rusty made a total of $264 in all.
