Carly is thinking about buying a wallet that costs $22 and a purse that costs $3 less than four times the cost of the wallet. What is the combined cost of both items?
How much does the wallet cost? ** First quadruple the price of the wallet: $22 * 4 = $<<22*4=88>>88
How much does the purse cost? ** Then subtract $3 to find the cost of the purse: $88 - $3 = $<<88-3=85>>85
What is the combined cost of both items? ** Then add the price of the wallet and purse to find the total cost: $85 + $22 = $<<85+22=107>>107
