      3($1.25) + 3($1.00)
      $3.75 + $3.00
      $6.75
      What is the value of a quarter?  $0.25   Divide $6.75 by $0.25
      27
      The entire equation would read:  3($1.25) + 3($1.00) / $0.25

        MCM: I have a B.A. in Sociology and a K-12 teaching credential, both of which I barely earned.
        Would that I were able to relive those high school and college years, there would have been a different valedictorian. Well, salutatorian...

        27.      $6.75/.25 = 27

          Clonge, How did you arrive at the $6.75 ?
          commented 10 years ago
          Clonge

          Washers, 3 X $1.25 = $3.75. Dryers, 3 X $1.00 = $3.00. $3.00 + $3.75 = $6.75. Detergent/bleach might be extra!

          Five.  Simply jam all the clothes into one load and hang them out to dry when you're done.
