Question

Jake has $11 left in his pocket. he spent $3 on a bus ticket, $5 on lunch, and $5 on a movie. how much money did he have at the beginning of the day?

Answer 1

$24 if it is at the beginning of the day and he is left with $11, and if he spent $13, then 11+13=24

Answer 2

Jake had twenty-four dollars ($24) at the beginning of the day.

Explanation:

Jake has $11 dollars left in his pocket, after spending 3 dollars on a bus ticket, 5 dollars on lunch, and 5 more dollars on a movie. 3+5+5 is equal to 13, therefore if after spending 13 dollars Jake still has 11 dollars, which means that at the beginning of the day Jake had 24 dollars (11+13).
