Question

Vivian has $200. She buys 4 dresses for $23 each, 2 pairs of walking shoes for $19 each, and 3 shoulder scarves for $8 each. How much money does she have left over? A. $65 B. $150 C. $50 D. $46

Answer 1

D. $46

Explanation:

4 dresses for $23 each = 4 x $23 = $92

2 pairs of walking shoes for $19 each = 2 x $19 = $38

3 shoulder scarves for $8 each = 3 x $8 = $24

Total purchased = $92 + $38 + $24 = $154

Money left over = $200 - $154 = $46

Answer 2

Option D. $46

Explanation:

Vivian has $200

She buys 4 dresses for $23 each.

Total cost of dresses = 23 × 4 = $92.00

She buys 2 pairs of walking shoes for $19 each

Total cost of shoes = 19 × 2 = $38.00

She also buys 3 shoulder scarves for $8 each

Total cost of scarves = 8 × 3 = $24.00

She spent in all = $92 + $ 38 + $ 24 = $154.00

Vivian has $200 and spent $154.00, Now we subtract $154.00 from $200 to get how much money she have left over.

200 - 154 = $46.00

Vivian has $46.00 left.

Option D. is the correct answer.
