Question

On a recent shopping trip, Arnold started with $150. He spent these amounts at various stores $49.81, $32.43, $25.90, $14.58, $23.33. How much remained of $150 when he was finished? Estimate by rounding amounts to the nearest dollar then computing

Answer 1

Hey there!

50 + 32 + 26 + 15 + 23 = 146
Subtract the amount spent from the amount he had
150 - 146 = 4

So Arnold has $4 left

Answer 2

Money remaining = $4

Explanation:

Arnold had at starting,

→ $150

The total amount he spent is,

→ x = 49.81 + 32.43 + 25.90 + 14.58 + 23.33

→ x = 146.05

→ [ x = $146 ]

Now the money he left with is,

→ $150 - x

→ 150 - 146

→ $4

Hence, he was left with $4.
