Answer 1

Hello,

 

The following are Multiplication words:

multiply
product
times
equal groups
each
per
twice

 

Whenever you come across the above in a word problem, it means to multiply (x).

 

Your bill is $175.

 

$30 per day or each day that it is not paid, which means it is $30 x 27 days (you multiply)

 

$30 x 27 days = $810

 

Your bill $175 + $810 = $985 owed in total
