how do you solve this problem ?
In 2011 Ralph paid $12.95 for a box of cards and $0.44 each for 16 stamps. What was the
total cost, in dollars and cents, of the box of cards and the stamps?


Sagot :

Cost for each:
box of cards=$12.95
stamp=0.44

Number of quantity for each:
box of cards=1
stamp=16

Now the equation should be as follow:
quantity(box of cards)+quantity(stamp)
1($12.95)+16($0.44)
$12.95+$7.04
$19.99

The total cost is $19.99 or simply 19 dollars and 99 cents
