John reels in 3 crab baskets a week. Each basket holds 4 crabs. He collects crabs twice a week. Each crab sells for $3. How much money does he make?
Let’s work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answer.
72
He collects 3 * 4 = 12 crabs each time.

He thus collects 12 * 2 = 24 crabs a week.

So he makes 24 * 3 = $72 a week.
