Question

20. Be Precise Joshua had $20. He spent $4.58 on Friday, $7.43 on Saturday, and $3,50 on Sunday. How much money does he have left? Show how you found the answer

Answer 1

To solve the exercise you can first add the money Joshua spent and then subtract it from the money he had initially.

So, Joshua spent in total

`$\text{ \$}4.58$+$\text{ \$}7.43$+$\text{ \$}3.50$=\text{ \$}15.51`

Now, subtracting Joshua's total expenses from the money he had initially

`\text{ \$}20-\text{\$}15.51=\text{ \$}4.49`

Therefore, Joshua has left $4.49.
