Question

Kent has a $20 gift certificate for the

pet store. He chooses 2 angelfish
that each cost $3.45 and 3 clownfish
that each cost $4.82.
If he uses his gift certificate, how
much money will he need to pay?

Answer 1

= $1.36

Explanation:

[ 2(3.45) + 3(4.82) ] - 20

= [ 6.9 + 14.46 ] - 20

= [ 21.36 ] - 20

= $1.36
