Lee had $198 in his pocket. He used
111 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 3 sweaters which cost $55 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Lee paid for the electric bill
=
111 x 198
= $18
Amount that Lee paid for the 3 sweaters
= 3 x 55
= $165
Amount that Lee spent in all
= 18 + 165
= $183
(b)
Amount that Lee had left
= 198 - 183
= $15
Answer(s): (a) $183; (b) $15
