Question

It costs Edgar $2.65 one way to ride the bus to work. He uses the bus to go to and from work four days per week. He buys a bottle of water that costs $1.45 on his way to work each day. How much does it cost Edgar to ride the bus and buy water for one week?

Answer 1

Since he only goes to work 4 days a week. We multiply 2.65 x 2 them multiply that by 4.

2.65 x 2 = $5.30 this is the total cost of how much he uses the bus in one day.

5.30 x 4 = $21.20 this is the total cost of how much he uses the bus in a week.

Since he buys water for $1.45 every time he goes to work, we need to multiply this by 4:

1.45 x 4 = $5.80 this is the total cost of water he buys in a week.

Add 21.20 and 5.80 to get your final answer:

21.20 + 5.80 = $27.00

So Edgar spends $27.00 a week at his work.
