Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Ms. Blankenship initially has $80. She bought32 glue sticks and each glue stick costs$ 1.403. She also bought32 boxes of crayons and each box of crayons costs $0.59

STEP 2

First, we need to calculate the total cost of the glue sticks. We can do this by multiplying the number of glue sticks by the cost of each glue stick.
$Cost\, of\, glue\, sticks = Number\, of\, glue\, sticks \\times Cost\, per\, glue\, stick$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the number of glue sticks and the cost per glue stick to calculate the total cost of the glue sticks.
$Cost\, of\, glue\, sticks =32 \\times \$1.40$

STEP 4

Calculate the total cost of the glue sticks.
$Cost\, of\, glue\, sticks =32 \\times \$1.40 = \$44.80$

STEP 5

Next, we need to calculate the total cost of the crayons. We can do this by multiplying the number of crayon boxes by the cost of each crayon box.
$Cost\, of\, crayons = Number\, of\, crayon\, boxes \\times Cost\, per\, crayon\, box$

STEP 6

Now, plug in the given values for the number of crayon boxes and the cost per crayon box to calculate the total cost of the crayons.
$Cost\, of\, crayons =32 \\times \$0.59$

STEP 7

Calculate the total cost of the crayons.
$Cost\, of\, crayons =32 \\times \$0.59 = \$18.88$

STEP 8

Now that we have the total cost of the glue sticks and the crayons, we can find the total cost of all purchases. This is done by adding the cost of the glue sticks and the cost of the crayons.
$Total\, cost = Cost\, of\, glue\, sticks + Cost\, of\, crayons$

STEP 9

Plug in the values for the cost of the glue sticks and the cost of the crayons to calculate the total cost.
$Total\, cost = \$44.80 + \$18.88$

STEP 10

Calculate the total cost of all purchases.
$Total\, cost = \$44.80 + \$18.88 = \$63.68$

STEP 11

Now that we have the total cost of all purchases, we can subtract this from the initial amount of money Ms. Blankenship had to find out how much money she has left.
$Money\, left = Initial\, money - Total\, cost$

STEP 12

Plug in the values for the initial money and the total cost to calculate the money left.
$Money\, left = \$80 - \$63.68$

STEP 13

Calculate the money left.
$Money\, left = \$80 - \$63.68 = \$16.32$ Ms. Blankenship has $16.32 left after these purchases.
