Question

For soccer season, Cameron wants to buy a new soccer ball, a pair of shorts, and a pair of soccer shoes. The ball costs $4.95, the shorts cost $9.10, and the shoes cost $5.50. Cameron has $2.30. How much more money does Cameron need?

Answer 1

Add the three items he wants to buy:

4.95 + 9.10 + 5.50 = 19.55

Subtract how much he has already:

19.55 - 2.30 = 17.25

He needs $17.25 more
