Math Multiplication Challenge Problem!!


Santa’s elves are running behind schedule so they end up putting an order in for toys from the SAS booster both.  The booster booth is feeling generous so they give the elves a special price.  


The elves decide to order 20 items composed of water bottles, hoodies, and hats.  The number of water bottles is ⅔ the number of hoodies.  The number of hoodies is ⅗ the number of hats.  The price of each water bottle is $12 and the price of each hoodie is $8.  Each hat costs ½ as much as the water bottle.

  1. How many hoodies do the elves buy?
  2. How much do the elves spend for the toys?
