PLEASE HELP ASAP

Jared has $18 to spend. He buys lunch for $3.87 and a tie for $5.95. Jared buys a magazine with the remaining money. How much does Jared spend buying the magazine?

Answer 1

18 - (3.87 + 5.95)=
18 - (9.82) =
$ 8.18

Answer 2

Jared begins with $18
If he spends $3.87 then you subtract that from the $18 which leaves Jared with $14.13. If Jared spends $5.95 then you subtract that from $14.13 which leaves Jared with $8.18. This means Jared spent $8.18 on the magazine.
