The Christmas tree, which originated
in Germany, became fashionable in the 1840's when the Queen of England and
her children were shown before a decorated evergreen tree in the British court.
Help me find the cost of decorations for my tree. I will need
3 strings of lights that cost $4.00 for each string, 2 bags of beaded garland
that cost $5.00 for each bag, and 5 boxes of ornaments that cost $3.00 for
each box.
Show your work.
4th and 5th graders: Change the cost of the lights to $3.79 for each string, cost of garland to $4.97 for each bag, and the cost of ornaments to $3.86 for each box.
