George had $180 in his pocket. He used
14 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 hoodies which cost $40 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that George paid for the electric bill
=
14 x 180
= $45
Amount that George paid for the 2 hoodies
= 2 x 40
= $80
Amount that George spent in all
= 45 + 80
= $125
(b)
Amount that George had left
= 180 - 125
= $55
Answer(s): (a) $125; (b) $55
