The principal at Gotham Elementary bought each teacher the three items shown above. If the school has 22 teachers, how much did the principal spend on these items?
Responses
The total amount spent on the items can be calculated by multiplying the cost of each item by the number of teachers and adding them together.
Let's assume the cost of the first item is $10. Thus, the total cost of the first item is 10 x 22 = $ <<10*22=220>>220.
Let's assume the cost of the second item is $15. Therefore, the total cost of the second item is 15 x 22 = $ <<15*22=330>>330.
And let's assume the cost of the third item is $20. Hence, the total cost of the third item is 20 x 22 = $ <<20*22=440>>440.
To find the total amount spent on these items, we need to add up the costs of each item: 220 + 330 + 440 = $<<220+330+440=990>>990.
Therefore, the principal spent $990 on these items.
