Question

Henry spends $50.00 on lunch, $12.00 on a cap and spends $6.00 on bananas. Hicks spend $120.00 on clothes and $15 on a cap. Henry borrowed money from Hicks to buy his items. In other words, Hicks paid for Henry. Lucky for Hicks he had a discount coupon for 10% off his lunch. Hicks bank account has a balance of $225.

A. How much will the purchase cost him

b. What would Hick’s bank balance be after all the debts were paid?

Answer 1

The purchase will cost him $158.

Hick's bank balance would be $67 after all the debts were paid.

Explanation:

10% of $50= $5.

$120.00 + $15.00 + $12.00 + $6.00 + 5.00= $158

$225 - $158 = $67
