Answer 1

Amount of money Brain has is 11.84 after his shopping trip.

Explanation:

Given:

cost of books = 15.99 each

Cost of 2 books =
`15.99* 2 = 31.98`

Cost for DVD = 19.95

Cost of Magazine = 2.50

Money he gets return back for jacket = 42.59

Solution:

We will first find the total amount used for shopping.

Total Shopping done = Cost of 2 books + Cost for DVD + Cost of Magazine =
`31.98+19.95+2.50= 54.43`

Now we will find the amount left after shopping which will be equal to the total amount used for shopping minus money he got in return for jacket.

Now net amount Left after shopping = Total Shopping done - Money he gets return back for jacket =
`54..43-42.59 =11.84`

Hence amount of money Brain has is 11.84 after his shopping trip.
