edwin and james were buying decks of cards from the magic shop for nine dollars each deck. how much did they spend if they buy 4 decks each

Answer 1

Edwin and James spent $72.00 on 8 decks of cards from the magic shop.

Edwin -> 4decks x $9.00

4x9=36

Edwin spent $36.00

James -> 4decks x $9.00

4x9=36

James spent $36.00

$36.00

You could also do the problem this way:

Edwin 4 decks + James 4 decks = 8 decks total

8 decks @ $9.00 = $72.00

8x9=72
