Pilar used five reusable shopping bags on a recent purchase she made at a grocery store. Each bag decreased the amount she spent by 15 cents. What was the change to the amount Pilar spent at the grocery store by using the reusable bags?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5*15=75 cents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how if 1 bag decreased her total by 15 cents and she has 5 bags you would do 5*.15

OpenStudy (anonymous):
