John wanted to save money to buy a new outfit. John saved $28.80 in April, $21.90 in May and $21.00 June. However, he also had to spend $28.60 on school supplies and $43.50 on his dog. if the outfit costs $182.60, how much money does John still need to save?

Answer 1

$175.40 ( 2 decimal place if its in dollars )

working:

Total save before spending: $79.3
After spending $79.3 - $ 28.60 - $43.50= $7.2
How much josh need to save: $182.60-$7.2 = $175.4

Answer 2

To solve this question you would need to calculate the amount of money he saved:
28.80+21.90+21=$71.70
Now you would need to subtract everything he spent his money on:
71.70-28.60-43.50=$4.60
Now you would need to do
182.60-4.60=$178

So John would have to save $178 to buy his new outfit. :-)
