Question

1. Jeremy wants to buy a new parka that costs $14.80. He saved $.41 how much more does he need to save?

2. Thirteen students went on a field trip. Each paided $2.20. The cost of the trip was $23.00. How much money was left over?

Answer 1

1. $14.39

2. $5.60

Explanation:

For problem 1, you subtract Jeremy's savings from the total cost of the parka.

So that's $14.80 - $0.41= $14.39

For problem 2, since EACH STUDENT paid $2.20, you MULTIPLY the number of students by how much each paid to find the total amount of money given.

So, that's 13($2.20)= $28.60

BUT we aren't done here!! That's how much was given, but we want the LEFT OVERS!!

To find those, we need to take the given amount minus the cost of the trip, which is $28.60- $23.00, which equals $5.60

THEREFORE, the left over money from the trip was $5.60.

Hope this helps!
