Practical Problems with Decimals

Question

In the past month, Justin rented 4 video games and 7 DVDs. The rental price for each video game was $2.60. The rental price for each DVD was $4.50. What is the total amount that Justin spent on video game and DVD rentals in the past month?

Answer 1

Rental price per Video Game: $2.60

Number of Video games rented by Justin: 4

So, Rental price for all video games rented is 4 x $2.60. = $10.40

Rental price per DVD : $4.50

Number of DVDs rented by Justin: 7

So, Rental price for all DVDs rented is 7 x $4.50. = $31.50

Total Rental Price for Video games + DVDs is $10.40 + $31.50 = $41.90

Answer 2

Total = 4(2.6) + 7(4.5)

Can you calculate and answer?
