Question

Tom received a $75 gift certificate for the local sporting goods store. He

bought two baseballs for $1.79 each, a baseball glove for $49.99, and a
baseball bat for $12.19. About how much of his gift certificate will he have
left?

Answer 1

He has $9.24 left of his gift certificate

Explanation:

Given that,

He bought two baseballs for $1.79

Baseball= 1.79+1.79 or 1.79 × 2 (because there are two baseballs.

= $3.58

Baseball Glove = $49.99

Baseball Bat = $12.19

Altogether = $3.58 + $49.99 + $12.19

= $65.76

So you subtract $65.76 from the Original amount in the gift certificate,

=> $75 - $65.76

= $9.24
