Ella Grace bought 5 plants for her backyard for $20 each and 3 chairs for her firepit for $20 each. She used this expression to calculate the total amount she spent.
(5⋅20)+(3⋅20)
What is another expression to calculate the total amount spent?
Another expression to calculate the total amount spent is:
5 * $20 + 3 * $20
To calculate the total amount Ella Grace spent, we can use the expression (5⋅20)+(3⋅20) which means "5 plants for $20 each plus 3 chairs for $20 each." Another expression we can use is 5(20) + 3(20), which represents the same calculation. Both expressions will give us the answer.
