Anne buys used cars at auction for 2000 per car. there is 150 fee to take part in the auction. if anne buys 13 used cars how much does she pay in total

How to understand the problem is like this:
   Total Cost = Entrance Fee + Total Car cost
So we know that the Entrance Fee is $150...
   Total Cost = $150 + Total Car cost
So we know that Anne bought 13 cars, each at $2,000...
   Total Cost = $150 + ($2,000 x 13)
We multiply because each car is $2,000 and Anne bought 13 of them.
So it works out like this:
   Total Cost = $150 + ($2,000 x 13)
   Total Cost = $150 + (26000)
   Total Cost = $26150

Hope this ; )
