Question

Sally saves $600 and buys an airline ticket for $120. She goes to a hotel that costs $55 each night for 4 nights. How much money does Sally have left after paying for the ticket and hotel?

Answer 1

After calculating Sally's expenses for the airline ticket and the hotel stay, Sally has $260 remaining from her initial savings of $600.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the remaining amount of money Sally has after spending on an airline ticket and hotel accommodation. Initially, Sally saves $600. She then spends $120 on an airline ticket. The cost of the hotel for 4 nights is $55 per night, amounting to a total hotel cost of $55 x 4 = $220. To determine the money Sally has left, we subtract the sum of her expenditures from her initial savings:

Total amount left = Initial savings - (Airline ticket + Hotel cost)

Total amount left = $600 - ($120 + $220)

Total amount left = $600 - $340

Total amount left = $260

Sally has $260 remaining after her expenses.
