Answer 2

1. Yes he would be able to but the back pack and he would actually have 18 to spare. Explanation- he saves $9 a week so if he saves for 7 weeks then he will have $63 but since he only needed 45 he will have 18 to spare
2. Since they have 65.50 but need to have 180 then u could just subtract 180 from 65.50 so they would 114.5 more dollars
3. Since lee scored 4 FEWER this tells us that micheal has more points so you would just add 4 to micheals total of points which would give you that micheal had 22 points
