Charlie had $160 in his pocket. He used
15 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 shirts which cost $44 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Charlie paid for the electric bill
=
15 x 160
= $32
Amount that Charlie paid for the 2 shirts
= 2 x 44
= $88
Amount that Charlie spent in all
= 32 + 88
= $120
(b)
Amount that Charlie had left
= 160 - 120
= $40
Answer(s): (a) $120; (b) $40
