Bobby bought the following items at the school store: 10 pencils for $0.21 each, 8 pens for $0.45 each, and 2 posters for $0.55 each. How much money did Bobby spend in all?

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
