A vet tech purchases a new uniform. The top costs $31, pants $28, shoes $56, socks $7, and a name pin $4. What is the total cost?

• A. 126
• B. 146
• C. 136
• D. 156

Answer: (A)

Total cost is found by adding all item prices. The vet tech buys five items: 31, 28, 56, 7, and 4. Add them together: 31 + 28 = 59; 59 + 56 = 115; 115 + 7 = 122; 122 + 4 = 126. The total amount owed is 126 dollars. If a item is missed or added incorrectly, you’d get other totals like 136, 146, or 156, but the correct sum of all items is 126.
