Dee has $120 to spend. She went to the grocery store and spent $55. She then bought 3 potted flowers for $18 each at the nursery. How much money did Dee have left? Select each correct equation or set of equations that could be used to answer the question. 4.AR.1.1 $120 - $55 = N; N-(3x $18) = M $120 - $55 - (3 × $18) = M (3 x $18) - $55 - $120 = M ($120-$55)-(3x $18)= M $120+ $55 - (3 × $18) = M

​

Answer 1

To find out how much money Dee had left after her purchases, we can use the equation: $120 - $55 - (3 × $18) = M. This equation represents the initial amount of money Dee had ($120) minus the amount she spent at the grocery store ($55) minus the cost of the three potted flowers ($18 each, so 3 × $18). By simplifying this equation, we can find the value of M, which represents the money Dee had left.
