Question

Lily has to go to Antarctica for a science school field trip. A ticket to Antarctica costs $4,689. Supplies for the trip cost $9,000. She has $20,000. How much will she have left over?

Answer 1

She will have $15,689 left

Answer 2

To calculate how much Lily will have left over after buying the ticket and supplies, we need to subtract the total cost of the ticket and supplies from the amount of money she has.

Total cost of ticket and supplies: $4,689 + $9,000 = $13,689

Amount left over: $20,000 - $13,689 = $6,311

Therefore, Lily will have $6,311 left over after buying the ticket and supplies for her trip to Antarctica.
