Samuel and Jason spent 3/4 of their combined earnings ($5.00,$2.84) from Wednesday to buy a gift how much do they spend? Is there enough left over from Wednesday's earnings to buy a card that costs $3.25. I need help

Samuel and Jason’s earnings (combined) would be $7.88. Since they spent 3/4 of it to buy a gift, $5.88, they would have $1.96 left ($7.88 minus $5.88). Therefore, they wouldn’t have enough to buy a card that costs $3.25.
