Calculate $1.50 × 10: Finding Total Cost for Classroom Snacks

A pack of potato chips costs a dollar and a half. A teacher buys enough packs for 10 students to have one pack each. How much did she pay in total?

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the given information: cost per pack and number of packs.
• Step 2: Apply the multiplication formula to find the total cost.
• Step 3: Perform the necessary calculations to find the total amount paid.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The problem gives us the cost per pack is \1.50 \) and the number of packs is $10$.

Step 2: We'll use the formula: Total Cost = (Cost per Pack) $\times$ (Number of Packs)

Step 3: Plugging in our values, we get: Total Cost = $1.50 \times 10 = 15.00$

Therefore, the teacher paid a total of \15\).
