Answer:
Jessica's mum will give her 44.46
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we will first of all need to get the total cost of sending the birthday invitations across. After that, we can now split the cost into two.
Cost of sending birthday invitations:
Package cost = 16.95
Number of packages bought = 4
total sum spent on packages = 4 X 16.95 = 67.8
Each package contains 12 invitations.
There are 4 packages.
Total number of invitations = 12 X 4 = 48 invitations
One stamp cost 0.44.
Putting stamps on all 48 invitations will cost 0.44 X 48 = 21.12
Therefore the total cost will be the total sum spent on packages +the total sum spent on stamps = 67.8 + 21.12 = 88.92
Her mum has agreed to pay half of this cost which is 88.92 / 2 = 44.46
