Leonard and his brother Michael bought presents for their father. Leonard bought a wallet at $50 and two pairs of sneakers at $100 each pair, while Michael bought a backpack at $100 and two pairs of jeans at $50 each pair. How much did they spend in all?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Two pairs of sneakers cost 2 x $100 = $200. So, Leonard spent $50 + $200 = $250. Two pairs of jeans cost 2 x $50 = $100. Thus, Michael spent $100 + $100 = $200. Therefore, they spent a total of $250 + $200 = $450 in all.
Thus, the answer is 450.
