Owen had $196 in his pocket. He used
14 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 cardigans which cost $47 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Owen paid for the electric bill
=
14 x 196
= $49
Amount that Owen paid for the 2 cardigans
= 2 x 47
= $94
Amount that Owen spent in all
= 49 + 94
= $143
(b)
Amount that Owen had left
= 196 - 143
= $53
Answer(s): (a) $143; (b) $53
