Carlos spent $42 on his golf game. He then bought

a bottle of water for $2 and a chef’s salad for $8. What was

the total cost for his golf game and meal?


Lesson 2-1

42 + (2 + 8) = 42 + 10 = 52 Add 2 and 8 first.

Carlos’s total cost was $52.

You can use the Associative Property of Addition to find the total cost in two different ways.

(42 + 2) + 8 = 44 + 8 = 52 Add 42 and 2 first.

<–

At most, the truck can carry 8 television sets.

Check: Is the answer reasonable? The total weight of 8 television sets is 8(225) = 1,800 lb, which is less than 2,000 lb but so close that another television set could not be carried. The answer is reasonable.
