Simon had $198 in his pocket. He used
16 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 3 blouses which cost $50 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Simon paid for the electric bill
=
16 x 198
= $33
Amount that Simon paid for the 3 blouses
= 3 x 50
= $150
Amount that Simon spent in all
= 33 + 150
= $183
(b)
Amount that Simon had left
= 198 - 183
= $15
Answer(s): (a) $183; (b) $15
