Question

Julie cashed a paycheck and repaid her brother $10 that she had borrowed from him. She then spent $30 on fuel for her car and half of the remaining money on a new tent for camping. She bought a pair of running shoes for $29.45 and had $17.75 left. How much did Julie receive when she cashed her paycheck?

Answer 1

Answer:$104.85

Step-by-step explanation: first you add up the $10, $30, and $29.45 but then you have to double the $17.75 because it says she spent half of her remaining money and had 17.75 left therefore it would be $104.95 when you add it all up, hope this helped

Answer 2

First you have to add all the money up that she spent. So $10 + $30 + $29.45 = $69.45. She then says that she has $17.75 left. So you now have to add $69.45 plus $17.75 and you get $87.20. I hoped this helped!
