Ryan had $180 in his pocket. He used
15 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 2 cardigans which cost $41 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Ryan paid for the electric bill
=
15 x 180
= $36
Amount that Ryan paid for the 2 cardigans
= 2 x 41
= $82
Amount that Ryan spent in all
= 36 + 82
= $118
(b)
Amount that Ryan had left
= 180 - 118
= $62
Answer(s): (a) $118; (b) $62
