Question

James earned $3 an hour baby-sitting and $4 an hour washing cars. Last week he did baby-sitting for 5 hours and car washing for 3 hours. How much more money does he need to buy a game that cost $35?​

Answer 1

$8

Explanation:

Total amount earned from baby-sitting = 3 × 5 = 15

Total amount earned from washing cars = 4 × 3 = 12

Total amount earned = 15 + 12 = 27

Amount of money needed to buy = 35 - 27 = 8.

He needs $8.
