dana is buying grandparents day gifts at the mall. she spends $13.75 on a teacup for her grandmother. she spends $\frac{4}{5}$ of that on a coffee mug for her grandfather. how much money does dana spend in all?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate cost of coffee mug

Find $\frac{4}{5}$ of $13.75$. Multiply $13.75$ by $\frac{4}{5}$, so $13.75\times\frac{4}{5}=13.75\div5\times4 = 2.75\times4=11$.

Step2: Calculate total cost

Add cost of teacup and coffee - mug. Total cost is $13.75 + 11=24.75$.

Answer:

$24.75$
