At a local store you find the price listed: tape 2 rolls $1.28 notepads 3 pads for .87 cents highlighters 1 for $1.59 pens 2 for $1.98. howmuch would you pay for one roll of tape, 2 notepads, 2 highlighters, and 2 pens

1 roll of tape: 1.28/2=$0.64
2 notepads: .87/3=.29x2=$0.58
2 highlighters: 1.59x2=$3.18
2 pens: $1.98

.64+.58+3.18+1.98=$6.38

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)
