It's your turn now, Asia. I did your last couple of problems for you.
What is your answer? Why?
i think its 8*3+5 is this right
Yes. Your problem would be clearer if you showed it this way.
(8 * 3) + 5
thank u very much
You're very welcome.
To find the total number of green peppers the grocer has, we need to calculate the number of peppers in each package and then add them all together.
First, we'll calculate the number of green peppers in the first 8 packages: 3 green peppers per package * 8 packages = 24 green peppers.
Next, we'll add the number of green peppers in the 9th package: 5 green peppers.
To get the total number of green peppers, we add the two sums together: 24 green peppers + 5 green peppers = 29 green peppers.
Therefore, the grocer has a total of 29 green peppers.
