She had 89 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

‘Jessica is going to a vegetable shop. She buys some lady fingers for $23, some potatoes for $30, and a bag of tomatoes for $16. Now she has $20 left. How much did she have to begin with?

All you have to do is add the numbers up.

23 + 30 + 16 + 20 = 89

Conclusion: Jessica had $89 dollars to begin with.

Answer:

89

Step-by-step explanation:

1. She spent a total of 23 + 30 + 16 = 69 dollars.

2. That means she had at least 69 dollars to spend. But if it were 69 dollars, that would mean she had 0 remaining dollars because she spent it all.

3. But she had 20 dollars left after she spent the 69 dollars.

4. So that means she had 89 dollars before making the purchase
