Question

Julie cashed a paycheck and repaid her brother $10 that she had borrowed from him. She then spent $30 on fuel for her car and half of the remaining money on a new tent for camping. She bought a pair of running shoes for $29.45 and had $17.75 left. How much did Julie receive when she cashed her paycheck?

Answer 1

First, we have to add up the total amount of money she spent.

10 + 30 + 29.45 = 69.45

Now we add the remaining amount:

69.45 + 17.75 = 87.20

Julie received $87.20 in her paycheck.
