The new Coat and Jacket Store was ready to open. The workers put out 42 racks of men's and boys' coats and jackets with 16 items on each rack. They also put out 35 racks of women's and girls' coats with 24 items on each rack.
How many coats and jackets were on the store racks?
Answer (2)
42 x 16=672 35 x 24=840
672+840=1512
The total number of coats and jackets in the store is 1512, consisting of 672 men's and boys' items and 840 women's and girls' items. This total is computed by adding the products of racks and items on each type. The calculations show the breakdown clearly for easy understanding.
