Luke had $175 in his pocket. He used
15 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 shirts which cost $41 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Luke paid for the electric bill
=
15 x 175
= $35
Amount that Luke paid for the 2 shirts
= 2 x 41
= $82
Amount that Luke spent in all
= 35 + 82
= $117
(b)
Amount that Luke had left
= 175 - 117
= $58
Answer(s): (a) $117; (b) $58
