Asher had $195 in his pocket. He used
15 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 blouses which cost $59 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Asher paid for the electric bill
=
15 x 195
= $39
Amount that Asher paid for the 2 blouses
= 2 x 59
= $118
Amount that Asher spent in all
= 39 + 118
= $157
(b)
Amount that Asher had left
= 195 - 157
= $38
Answer(s): (a) $157; (b) $38
