Total |
1x7 =
7 u |
5x7 =
35 u |
6x7 =
42 u |
6x6 =
36 u |
1x6 =
6 u |
7x6 =
42 u |
| 7 u |
29 u |
6 u |
42 u |
Total amount that Zoe paid for the windbreaker, the jacket and the vest = 42 u
42 u = 84
1 u = 84 ÷ 42 = 2
Total cost of the vest and the windbreaker
= 7 u + 6 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 2
= $26
Answer(s): $26
