Brandon had $172 in his pocket. He used
14 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 hoodies which cost $40 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Brandon paid for the electric bill
=
14 x 172
= $43
Amount that Brandon paid for the 2 hoodies
= 2 x 40
= $80
Amount that Brandon spent in all
= 43 + 80
= $123
(b)
Amount that Brandon had left
= 172 - 123
= $49
Answer(s): (a) $123; (b) $49
