Hideki is collecting pennies . Each month in may, june, and july he put 200 pennies in a jug . He put 300 pennies in th jug in August and 300 in September. How many pennies did Hideki put in the jug between May and September ?
Ashley is wrong.
(3 * 200) + (2 * 300) = 1200 pennies
Flawed question.

1200:like Ms.Sue answered
700: in they mean June, July, & Aug.
Or
500 if they mean between May(200) + Sept. (300) = 500. Common Core stinks!!
1200
To find the total number of pennies Hideki put in the jug between May and September, we need to add up the number of pennies he put in each month.
In May, June, and July, Hideki put 200 pennies in the jug, so the total for these three months is:
200 pennies + 200 pennies + 200 pennies = 600 pennies
In August, Hideki put 300 pennies in the jug, and in September, he put another 300 pennies. So the total for these two months is:
300 pennies + 300 pennies = 600 pennies
To find the total number of pennies Hideki put in the jug between May and September, we add the totals from all the months:
600 pennies + 600 pennies = 1200 pennies
Therefore, Hideki put a total of 1200 pennies in the jug between May and September.
