To start your scrapbook hobby, you bought a scrapbook for $19.99, 2 scissors for $5.50 each, and 3 cropping tools for $8.25 each. (Find the total cost.)
First, make a verbal model of the plan.
Then, solve the problem.
Total cost= Cost of scrapbook + number of scissors * cost of scissors + Number of cropping tools * Cost of cropping tools
19.99+2*5.5+3*8.25
19.99+11+24.75 = 55.74
The total cost is $55.74.
