Warren had $177 in his pocket. He used
13 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 skirts which cost $56 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Warren paid for the electric bill
=
13 x 177
= $59
Amount that Warren paid for the 2 skirts
= 2 x 56
= $112
Amount that Warren spent in all
= 59 + 112
= $171
(b)
Amount that Warren had left
= 177 - 171
= $6
Answer(s): (a) $171; (b) $6
