12 of it to pay his electric bills. He then bought 1 shirts which cost $52 each.
- How much did he spend in all?
- How much money had he left?
(a)
Amount that Lee paid for the electric bill
=
12 x 148

= $52
Amount that Lee spent in all
= 74 + 52
= $126
(b)
Amount that Lee had left
= 148 - 126
= $22
Answer(s): (a) $126; (b) $22
