Japheth had $200 in his pocket. He used
15 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 sweaters which cost $49 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Japheth paid for the electric bill
=
15 x 200
= $40
Amount that Japheth paid for the 2 sweaters
= 2 x 49
= $98
Amount that Japheth spent in all
= 40 + 98
= $138
(b)
Amount that Japheth had left
= 200 - 138
= $62
Answer(s): (a) $138; (b) $62
