Question: Kylie sold books at a yard sale for 10 cents each and toys for 50 cents each. If she sells 6 books and 3 toys, how much does Kylie earn altogether? 

 

 

 

Answer:  $2.10

 

 

 

Solution:  Kylie earned 10¢, 6 times for the books. That’s 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60¢. She earned 50¢, 3 times for the toys. That’s 50, 100, 150¢, or $1.50. So, altogether, Kylie earned $1.50 + $0.60 = $2.10.
