Wesley had $196 in his pocket. He used
14 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 skirts which cost $54 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Wesley paid for the electric bill
=
14 x 196
= $49
Amount that Wesley paid for the 2 skirts
= 2 x 54
= $108
Amount that Wesley spent in all
= 49 + 108
= $157
(b)
Amount that Wesley had left
= 196 - 157
= $39
Answer(s): (a) $157; (b) $39
