Pierre had $170 in his pocket. He used
15 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 hoodies which cost $42 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Pierre paid for the electric bill
=
15 x 170
= $34
Amount that Pierre paid for the 2 hoodies
= 2 x 42
= $84
Amount that Pierre spent in all
= 34 + 84
= $118
(b)
Amount that Pierre had left
= 170 - 118
= $52
Answer(s): (a) $118; (b) $52
