Jay & Gloria were hosting a 4th of July party at their house. Jay invited 22 people and Gloria invited 36. They wanted to buy small American flags for everyone. The craft store was having a sale on small flags, 5 flags for $1.00. If they wanted all of their guests to have a flag and they also wanted 1 flag each, how much would they spend at the craft store? Give me reasons, before answering the question

Jay invited 22 guests and Gloria invited 36 so they invited 22 + 36 = 58 guests. They also each wanted a flag so in total they would need 1 + 1 + 58 = 60 flags. The craft store has them on sale at 5 for $1.00 and they need 60 flags so the flags will cost them 60 / 5 = $12.00. So the final answer is 12.
