Jasper had a $10 bill. He spent $5.50 with tax on plants for his fish tank. He spent some more money on a pretty rock for his tank. After he paid, he had $2.21 in change. Write an expression that shows what Jasper spent and had left. Use x to stand for the money he spent on the rock.

Answer:

$10 -$5.50 -x = $2.21

if you want to solve for x do 10-5.50-2.21=x
