Find the step that went wrong

Let's make a plan someone can use. Seven pretend kits cost $8 each and there is one $6 fee. A fictional learner writes '7 + 8 + 6 = 21, so the total is $21'. What do we know? What are we trying to find? Make marks, move paper pieces, point, sign, talk or type. Give the quantities their own labels before you calculate. Here is one worked example: 7 × $8 + $6 = $62. The error is treating seven kits as seven dollars. The seven repeated $8 costs total $56; add the one $6 fee to get $62. Now look back at the brief. Does our answer count the right thing and meet the supplied conditions? A correct multiplication followed by adding the fee seven times is a different error. Ask how the picture could show that the fee occurs only once. Take your time. Choose one of today's new briefs and make your own plan. A different correct strategy is welcome. Explain one check and one useful conclusion.
