Zane had $189 in his pocket. He used
19 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 3 blouses which cost $46 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Zane paid for the electric bill
=
19 x 189
= $21
Amount that Zane paid for the 3 blouses
= 3 x 46
= $138
Amount that Zane spent in all
= 21 + 138
= $159
(b)
Amount that Zane had left
= 189 - 159
= $30
Answer(s): (a) $159; (b) $30
