Question

Lucy went to the store with $50. She bought a pair of jeans for $14.99, three shirts for $4 each, and a bag of Cheetos for $2.25. While at the store, she found another $10 in the bottom of her purse. How much money did Lucy have when she left the store?

Answer 1

$30.76

Explanation:

Subtract the costs of her purchases from her total of 50:

50 - (14.99 + 3(4) + 2.25)

50 - (14.99 + 12 + 2.25)

50 - 29.24

= 20.76

Now, add the $10 that she found to this:

20.76 + 10

= 30.76

So, when she left the store, Lucy had $30.76

Answer 2

$30.76 is your answer!!!
