Question

Simon had $15 to spend for lunch. He bought a large orange soda for $3.25 and a

cheeseburger for $11.95. When he reached in his pocket to pay, he found another
$4.25 to use towards his bill. How much money did Simon have after paying for
lunch?

Answer 1

$4.05

How:

1. $15 + the extra $4.25 = $19.25

2. $3.25 + $11.95 for the meal = $15.20

3. $19.25 - $15.20 = $4.05

Simon had $4.05 left after paying for lunch.
