  2. Answer:
    Sam’s student council spent $39 on backpacks + paper and pens.
    Step-by-step explanation:
    They bought 3 backpacks for $7 each. 3 x 7 = $21.
    They also filled those backpacks with paper and pens costing $6 each. 3 backpacks x $6 = $18.
    Now, add the two prices.
    18 + 21 = 39
    hope this helps 🙂
