Gabriel had $160 in his pocket. He used
14 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 skirts which cost $42 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Gabriel paid for the electric bill
=
14 x 160
= $40
Amount that Gabriel paid for the 2 skirts
= 2 x 42
= $84
Amount that Gabriel spent in all
= 40 + 84
= $124
(b)
Amount that Gabriel had left
= 160 - 124
= $36
Answer(s): (a) $124; (b) $36
