10 + 20 = 30 so $30 for 1 swing What do you do if you want to find out for how many more swings it'll cost for? Do you multiply or divide?

OpenStudy (giitter):

I think that the answer would be A or C. but i dont know

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

It's multiplying, 3 x (10 + 20) so it's C.

OpenStudy (giitter):

ok

jabez177 (jabez177):

Don't give out direct answers, please. :)

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

A would be 3 + (10 * 20) which gives you a totally different answer.

OpenStudy (giitter):

I got 100
