George had $168 in his pocket. He used
16 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 jackets which cost $60 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that George paid for the electric bill
=
16 x 168
= $28
Amount that George paid for the 2 jackets
= 2 x 60
= $120
Amount that George spent in all
= 28 + 120
= $148
(b)
Amount that George had left
= 168 - 148
= $20
Answer(s): (a) $148; (b) $20
