Step-by-step explanation

to solve this we can use a subtraction

make

Max had $36.06 (positive)

He spent $14.60 on a new shir(negative)

$4.95 on a pack of socks(negative)

so, the money he left is

Money he left0 money he had- money he spent

Step 1

add to final the total money he spent


\begin{gathered} \text{money spent=new shirt+a pack of socks} \\ \text{replace} \\ \text{money spent=14.60+4.95=19.55} \end{gathered}

Step 2

find the money left

\text{money left}=36.06-19.55=16.51

so, the answer is $16.51
