Archie had $184 in his pocket. He used
18 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 3 skirts which cost $44 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Archie paid for the electric bill
=
18 x 184
= $23
Amount that Archie paid for the 3 skirts
= 3 x 44
= $132
Amount that Archie spent in all
= 23 + 132
= $155
(b)
Amount that Archie had left
= 184 - 155
= $29
Answer(s): (a) $155; (b) $29
