Question

Tom worked 28 hours last month and earned $9 per hour. He spent $17 of his earnings since then. How much money does he have left?

Answer 1

235

Explanation:

If Tom worked 28 hours last month, and his hourly rate is $9.

Start by multiplying 9 times 28. 9 × 28 = 252

Faster way I do the math is in my head, what is 9*3=27, Add a zero 9×30=270. 30-2=28;2×9=18, Subtract 270-18=252...

Tom spent $17 of his earnings, $252-$17=$235

Answer 2

He would have $235

Explanation:

If Tom worked 28 hours and earned $9 per hour he would have 252 dollars. Then if he spent $17 dollars he would have $235
