Remark

This is called an extraneous information question. That means you have a piece of information you don't need. You'll get a lot of these in math courses yet to come. The piece of information you don't need is 79.95.

All you need are the other two numbers.

Givens

sale price= 62.79

Pocket money = 59.20

Formula

Amount needed = Sale price - Pocket money

Solution

Amount needed = 62.79 - 59.20

Amount needed = 3.59
