A couple is mailing wedding invitations to their 100 guests. The invitations them- selves cost $1.99 each and because their invitations are heavier than a standard letter, they need to pay $0.97 in postage for each letter. How much total will they pay for invitations and postage?



Answer :

Answer:

To calculate the total cost of invitations and postage, we first need to find the total cost of the invitations and then add the total cost of postage.

Cost of Invitations:

Each invitation costs $1.99.

Total cost of invitations = Cost per invitation × Number of guests

= $1.99 × 100

= $199

Cost of Postage:

Each invitation requires $0.97 in postage.

Total cost of postage = Cost per invitation in postage × Number of guests

= $0.97 × 100

= $97

Total Cost:

Total cost = Cost of invitations + Cost of postage

= $199 + $97

= $296

Therefore, the couple will pay a total of $296 for invitations and postage.
