Reggie had $153 in his pocket. He used
19 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 jackets which cost $57 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Reggie paid for the electric bill
=
19 x 153
= $17
Amount that Reggie paid for the 2 jackets
= 2 x 57
= $114
Amount that Reggie spent in all
= 17 + 114
= $131
(b)
Amount that Reggie had left
= 153 - 131
= $22
Answer(s): (a) $131; (b) $22
