Charlie buys 5 shirts at$17.30 each, and a pair of jeans for $25.10 The shop has a sale on, and so he receives a $11.16 discount.
Write and solve a numerical expression for how much he spends in total.
To find the total amount Charlie spends, we need to add up the cost of the shirts and the cost of the jeans, and then subtract the discount.
Cost of 5 shirts = $17.30 x 5 = $86.50
Cost of jeans = $25.10
Discount = $11.16
Total amount spent = (Cost of shirts + Cost of jeans) - Discount
Total amount spent = ($86.50 + $25.10) - $11.16
Total amount spent = $111.60 - $11.16
Total amount spent = $100.44
Charlie spends $100.44 in total.
