Question

Jasmine has $7.50 and borrowed $8.65 from her friend to buy a bag that costs $13.45 and a bracelet that costs $6.78. She finds that she does not have enough to buy both. How much money does she still need to buy both?

Answer 1

Jasmine has a total of $7.50 + $8.65 = $16.15 after borrowing from her friend.

She wants to buy a bag for $13.45 and a bracelet for $6.78, so the total cost is $13.45 + $6.78 = $20.23.

Jasmine still needs $20.23 - $16.15 = $4.08 to buy both items.

Answer 2

Jasmine has a total of $7.50 + $8.65 = $16.15 after borrowing from her friend.

She wants to buy a bag for $13.45 and a bracelet for $6.78, so the total cost is $13.45 + $6.78 = $20.23.

Jasmine still needs $20.23 - $16.15 = $4.08 to buy both items.
