Question

You have $325.00 in the bank. You have a business decorating cakes and earn money for each cake. You purchase a new set of clothes so that you can go out of town. The clothing ensemble costs $150.00. You have $275.00 left. How much did you earn decorating cakes?

Answer 1

$100.00

Explanation:

Given:

• Initial bank balance: $325.00
• Clothes price: $150.00
• left money: $275.00

Now

Remaining money will be:

= Initial bank balance - Clothes price

= 325.00 - 150.00

= $175.00

And

Money earned from cake decorating is:

= left money - remaining money

= 275.00 - 175.00

= $100.00

Therefore, we earned $100.00 from cake decorating.
