Tyrone bought 5 postcards at $0.55 each and a set of postcards for $1.20. write an expression to find the total amount Tyrone spent on postcards. Then evaluate the expression.

Answer 1

Hello, Alex.

Okay, so he bought 5 postcards at $.55/ ea. so that would be 5 x .55.

He also bought a set of postcards for $1.20.

So the expression to find the amount he spent on all the postcards would be:

(5 x 0.55) + 1.20 =

2.75 + 1.20 = 3.95

Therefore, he spent $ 3.95 on the postcards
