Candice buys all the bread she and her family needs for the week from a local bakery. She needs 2 loaves of white bread for sandwiches that cost $3.50 each. She also needs a baguette that costs $1.50 and 2 loaves of sourdough bread that cost $4.50 each. She also treats herself to a $2.00 almond croissant each visit. How much does Candice spend at the bakery over 4 weeks? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
2 loaves of white bread are $3.50 each so they cost 2 * 3.50 = $7.00. 2 loaves of sourdough bread are $4.50 each so they cost 2 * 4.50 = $9.00. The white bread comes to $7.00, the sourdough is $9.00 and she gets a baguette for $1.50 and a croissant for $2.00 so she spends 7 + 9 + 1 + 2 = $19.50 per week. If she buys this same order of $19.50 every week for 4 weeks then she spends 19.50 * 4 = $78.00 over 4 weeks. So, the answer is 78.
