Asher had $175 in his pocket. He used
15 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 hoodies which cost $53 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 175
= $35
Amount that Asher paid for the 2 hoodies
= 2 x 53
= $106
Amount that Asher spent in all
= 35 + 106
= $141
(b)
Amount that Asher had left
= 175 - 141
= $34
Answer(s): (a) $141; (b) $34
