Howard had $144 in his pocket. He used
16 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 jackets which cost $48 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Howard paid for the electric bill
=
16 x 144
= $24
Amount that Howard paid for the 2 jackets
= 2 x 48
= $96
Amount that Howard spent in all
= 24 + 96
= $120
(b)
Amount that Howard had left
= 144 - 120
= $24
Answer(s): (a) $120; (b) $24
