Paper Lanterns: 4

Bags of Balloons: 12

Garlands: 11

Banners: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of lanterns is $6.50

Mrs. Murphy bought 4 lanterns

Multiply the cost of one lantern ($6.50) by the number of lanterns bought (4)

6.50 multiplied by 4 equals 26

Cost of banners is $5.25

Mrs. Murphy bought 4 banners

Multiply the cost of one banner ($5.25) by the number of banners bought (4)

5.25 multiplied by 4 equals 21

Mrs. Murphy bought 3 times as many balloons as she did lanterns

So, you multiply the number of lanterns bought (4) by 3

This gives you 12

You then multiply the cost of each balloon ($5.00) by the number of balloons bought (12)

5.00 multiplied by 12 equals 60

Mrs. Murphy bought 7 more garlands as she did lanterns

So, you add 7 to the number of lanterns bought (4)

7 plus 4 equals 11

To find the cost of the total garlands bought

You multiply the cost of each garland ($3.50) by the number of garlands bought (11)

3.50 multiplied by 11 equals 38.5

Now you can add up the costs of all the items

26+21+60+38.5=145.50

145.50 was the total amount she spent so you know it is the correct answer.
