Question

At the beginning of the month, Kim had $66.78. Since then, she received three payments of $33.50 from her babysitting job. Kim's 2 sisters each helped her babysit once during the month, so Kim paid them $9.75 each. If Kim did not spend any money, how much money does she have now? *

Answer 1

If Kim did not spend any money, she has $147.78 now.

Explanation:

If Kim did not spend any money, the money she has now would be equal to the amount she had at the beginning of the month plus the three payments she received minus the amount she paid her sisters, which is:

(66.78+(3*33.50))-(2*9.75)=(66.78+100.5)-19.5=167.28-19.5=147.78

According to this, the answer is that if Kim did not spend any money, she has $147.78 now.
