Ethan had $172 in his pocket. He used
14 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 jackets which cost $47 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Ethan paid for the electric bill
=
14 x 172
= $43
Amount that Ethan paid for the 2 jackets
= 2 x 47
= $94
Amount that Ethan spent in all
= 43 + 94
= $137
(b)
Amount that Ethan had left
= 172 - 137
= $35
Answer(s): (a) $137; (b) $35
