Question

Carla bought 14 pencils. Cost of 1 pencil is 2 bucks. The cost of 14 pencils will be .

• A. 28 bucks
• B. 24 bucks
• C. 28 bucks
• D. 20 bucks

Answer 1

The correct option is C 28 bucks

Cost of 1 pencil = 2 bucks

Cost of 14 pencils = $14\times 2$

To find the answer, we can split 14 into tens and ones.

$14=10+4$

Now, let's multiply these two numbers with 2.

$10\times 2=20$
$4\times 2=8$

To find the final answer, we will have to add these two numbers.

$20+8=28$

Therefore, cost of 14 pencils = 28 bucks
