Question

Griffin ordered a pair of sneakers online. He had a $19 credit that he applied toward the purchase, and then he used a credit card to pay for the rest of the cost. If the shoes cost $57, how much did Griffin charge to his credit card when he bought the sneakers?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that the shoes cost $57 and Griffin had a credit of $19 that he applied to the purchase. To find out how much Griffin charged to his credit card, we need to subtract the credit from the total cost of the shoes. We can use the following equation:

Total cost of shoes - Credit = Amount charged to credit card

Plugging in the known values, we get:

57 - 19 = 38

So, Griffin charged $38 to his credit card when he bought the sneakers.
