Well first multiply 15 by 5 which is 75 then multiply 10 and 4 which is 40 then add them which is 115 so he spent 115 dollars

Liliana Williams · Answer 2

So your equation isn't difficult.

5 shirts that cost $15

5 * 15 = $75 for all 5 shirts.

4 pairs of pants he spent $10

4 * 10 = $40

Now add both together.

$75+$40 = $115

In total Marion spent:

$115
