Use the explantion to answer your question

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount he paid for first 20 shares

= $25 + (20 x $10.51)

= $25 + $210.20

= $235.20

Amount he paid for next 20 shares

= $25 + (20 x $8.93)

= $25 + $178.60

= $203.60

Thus, total amount paid

= $235.20 + $203.60

= $438.80

$494

Step-by-step explanation:

30 * 6.31 + 16 = $205.30

30 * 9.09 + 16 = $288.70

Total = $494
