Question

Jimmy had $4.52 to spend. He found something he wanted to buy for $6.21. How much would he need to borrow from his friend to make his purchase?

Answer 1

He would need to borrow $1.69

Answer 2

$1.69

Explanation:

If he wants to buy something for $6.21 but he only has $4.52, we need to find out the difference between $6.21 and $4.52.

For that, we have to subtract the smallest number from the biggest, that is

$6.21 - $4.52 = $1.69

Therefore, he would need to borrow $1.69 from his friend.
