Jamal bought 7 packs of paper clips for a project. Then he bought 8 more packs. There are 25 paper clips in each pack. How many paper clips did he buy
(7+8)*25 = 15*25 = ____
7 + 8 = 14 + 1 = 15
so what is 15 * 25 ?
well it is 15 * 100 / 4
= 1500 / 4
= 375
To find out how many paper clips Jamal bought, we need to calculate the total number of paper clips in 7 packs and 8 more packs.
First, let's calculate the number of paper clips in 7 packs. We know that each pack contains 25 paper clips, so we can multiply 7 by 25.
7 packs * 25 paper clips/pack = 175 paper clips
Next, let's calculate the number of paper clips in 8 more packs. Again, we'll multiply 8 by 25.
8 packs * 25 paper clips/pack = 200 paper clips
Finally, to find the total number of paper clips Jamal bought, we add the number of paper clips in the 7 packs and the 8 more packs.
175 paper clips + 200 paper clips = 375 paper clips
Therefore, Jamal bought 375 paper clips.
