In the past month, Kaitlin rented 3 video games and 6 DVDs. The rental price for each video game was $2.60. The rental price for each DVD was $3.30. What is the total amount that Kaitlin spent on video game and DVD rentals in the past month?

Kaitlin rented 3 video games and 6 dvds.

2.60 x 3 = 7.50 (dollars and cents)

3.30 x 6 = 19.80 (dollars and cents)

add them together to get the total cost in the past month.

(to find the answer you know the price for a single video game/DVD so what you do is multiply those prices times how much they bought)

ex: $2.60 x 3 <-- the amount of games she bought.

i hope this helps you.

Kaitlin spent $27.60 on video games and DVDs in the past month.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the price of one video game, one DVD, and the amount that was rented in the past month.  

To find the total cost of the video games, multiply:

$2.60 x 3

= $7.80 spent on video games in the past month

To find the total cost of the DVDs, multiply:

$3.30 x 6

= $19.80 spent on DVDs in the past month

To find the total cost, add the total cost of video games and DVDs together:

$7.80 + $19.80 = $27.60

Conclusion: Kaitlin spent $27.60 in the past month on video games and DVDs.
