Kesha bought a new pair of skis for $450. She made a payment of $120 and got a student discount of $45. Her mother paid 1/2 of the balance. How much does Kesha have left to pay?

if the skirt costs $450
and she paid $120 and got a discount of $45 then she remained with a debt of
450-120-45=285
her mother paid half of 285 which is $142.5

Kesha was left with $142.5 which she will have to pay to get the skirt
