Question

Mr. Wilson saved $2,500 to buy airline tickets for this family. He bought 6 airline tickets for $372 each. How much of his savings does Mr. Wilson have after he buys the tickets?

Answer 1

Solution: The amount of money saved by Mr. Wilson
`=2500`

Number of tickets bought by Mr. Wilson for his family
`=6`

Cost of an airline ticket
`=372`

Now the amount of money that Mr. Wilson spent on buying 6 tickets is:

`6 * 372 =2232`

Now the amount saved by Mr. Wilson
`=2500 - 2232=268`

Therefore, the total savings of Mr. Wilson after he buys the tickets is $268
