10.95 times 12

Question

I want to multiple money

Answer 1

The two numbers to the right of the decimal are cents.  So even if you are multiplying nine dollars you would write out $9.00.

Therefore what is $10.95 X 12?

Answer 2

10.95 * 12 = 131.40

A simple way without a calculator is to multiply 10 X 12 = 120

And then 1.00 X 12 =12   

Add them up   120  + 12 = 132

And then subtract 12 X .05  (1.00 - 0.95)  = .60  

132.00 - .60 = 131.40

10.95 x 12 = 131.40
