Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Ms. Blankenship had $80\$80 initially for purchasing school supplies.
2. She bought 32 glue sticks, with each glue stick costing $1.40\$1.40.
3. She bought 32 boxes of crayons, with each box of crayons costing $0.59\$0.59.
4. We need to find out how much money Ms. Blankenship had left after making these purchases.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the total cost of the glue sticks.
2. Calculate the total cost of the boxes of crayons.
3. Determine the total amount spent on both glue sticks and boxes of crayons.
4. Subtract the total amount spent from the initial amount to find the remaining money.

STEP 3

Calculate the total cost of the glue sticks.
Total cost of glue sticks=32×1.40\text{Total cost of glue sticks} = 32 \times 1.40

STEP 4

Perform the multiplication to find the total cost of the glue sticks.
Total cost of glue sticks=32×1.40=44.80\text{Total cost of glue sticks} = 32 \times 1.40 = 44.80

STEP 5

Calculate the total cost of the boxes of crayons.
Total cost of boxes of crayons=32×0.59\text{Total cost of boxes of crayons} = 32 \times 0.59

STEP 6

Perform the multiplication to find the total cost of the boxes of crayons.
Total cost of boxes of crayons=32×0.59=18.88\text{Total cost of boxes of crayons} = 32 \times 0.59 = 18.88

STEP 7

Determine the total amount spent on both glue sticks and boxes of crayons.
Total amount spent=44.80+18.88\text{Total amount spent} = 44.80 + 18.88

STEP 8

Perform the addition to find the total amount spent.
Total amount spent=44.80+18.88=63.68\text{Total amount spent} = 44.80 + 18.88 = 63.68

STEP 9

Subtract the total amount spent from the initial amount to find the remaining money.
Remaining money=80.00−63.68\text{Remaining money} = 80.00 - 63.68

STEP 10

Perform the subtraction to determine the remaining money.
Remaining money=80.00−63.68=16.32\text{Remaining money} = 80.00 - 63.68 = 16.32
Solution: Ms. Blankenship had $16.32\$16.32 left after purchasing the glue sticks and boxes of crayons.
