Drew has two large boxes and four small boxes of magazines. Each
large box contains 50 magazines. Each small box contains 35
magazines. How many magazines does Drew have in all?
A) 85 magazines
B) 170 magazines
C) 230 magazines
D) 240 magazines (Correct Answer)
Explanation:
This exercise would be solved in two steps. The first step is to figure out how many magazines
are in the small boxes and how many are in the large boxes. There are 2 large boxes with 50
magazines in each. That is 100 magazines. There are 4 small boxes with 35 magazines in each.
That is 140 (4 x 35 = 140) magazines. The next step is to total the magazines in all of the boxes.
100 + 140 = 240. Drew has 240 magazines in all.
