Question

During the day, Sam spent $4.85 on lunch. He also bought 2 books for $7.95 each. At the end of the day, he had $8.20 left. How much money did he start with?

Answer 1

Hey!~

So what you would want to do is add the amount he spent onto the amount he was left with. $8.20 + (2*$7.95) + $4.85 = $28.95

Hope this helps and have a great day!
