My question is: Jessie's community built a new hedge. Each section of the hedge used 30 pieces of concrete blocks that cost $2 per piece. The hedge has eight sections. How much did they spend on the concrete blocks? Your thoughts:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

They used 30 x 8 = 240 concrete blocks for the eight sections. So, they spent 240 x $2 = $480 on the concrete blocks. The final answer: 480.
