Question

Tessa had $35. She bought a book for $7 and a magazine for $5. Which expression correctly shows the total money Tessa has left

Answer 1

The total money left with Tessa = $23.

Explanation:

The total amount Tess had = $35

The amount spent on book = $7

The amount spent on magazine = $5

So, Total amount spend by Tessa = Money spent on (Book + Magazine)

= $7 + $5 = $12

Now, the Money Left = Total Money - Money Spent

= $35 - $12 = $23

Hence the total money left with Tessa = $23.
