Question

Jamal went shopping for school supplies with $15.00. He bought a notebook for $2.75, a binder for $3.49, and a pack of pencils for $3.55. He also wanted to buy a pack of pens for $5.75. Will he have enough money to buy the pens?

Answer 1

$15.54 that's how much it cost

Answer 2

he will not have enough money to buy the pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total money = $15.00

Money paid for notebook = $2.75

Price paid for binder = $3.49

Price paid for pack of pencil = $3.55

Price for pack of pencil = $5.75

Now,

Total amount spent

= Money paid for notebook + Price paid for binder + Price paid for pack of pencil

= $2.75 + $3.49 + $3.55

= $9.79

Thus,

Amount of money left = Total money - Amount spent

= $15.00 - $9.79

= $5.21

Since,

Amount of money left is less than the price of the pack of pens

Therefore,

he will not have enough money to buy the pens
