David had $154 in his pocket. He used
111 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 sweaters which cost $55 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that David paid for the electric bill
=
111 x 154
= $14
Amount that David paid for the 2 sweaters
= 2 x 55
= $110
Amount that David spent in all
= 14 + 110
= $124
(b)
Amount that David had left
= 154 - 124
= $30
Answer(s): (a) $124; (b) $30
