Ken had $190 in his pocket. He used
15 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 sweaters which cost $50 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Ken paid for the electric bill
=
15 x 190
= $38
Amount that Ken paid for the 2 sweaters
= 2 x 50
= $100
Amount that Ken spent in all
= 38 + 100
= $138
(b)
Amount that Ken had left
= 190 - 138
= $52
Answer(s): (a) $138; (b) $52
