(i'm confused ;-;)Two large lemonades cost $2.18 and three small lemonades cost $2.22. If Jacob bought five large lemonades and two small lemonades, how much did he pay in total?

Hello!

So to answer this question, there are two major steps you need to do. These steps are multiplication and addition. The equation to model this situation is this:

(2.18 x 5) + (2.22 x 3) = X

(X is the total amount that Jacob paid)

To solve this equation, you want to use the order of operations.

First, you will multiply inside of the parenthesis.

2.18 x 5 = 10.90

So, the equation will look like this:

10.90 + (2.22 x 3) = X

Now, you have to multiply the other set in parenthesis.

2.22 x 3 = 6.66

The equation now looks like this:

10.90 + 6.66 = X

To find the value of X, we have to add the two values on the right side of the equation.

10.90 + 6.66 = 17.56

So, X = 17.56.

Jacob paid a total of $17.56 for the lemonades.

Hope this helps!
